Cold, Dark Evenings, Not So Lonely A Run

So my plan of spending the evening on the sofa watching a dvd somehow transformed into a steady 8km run followed by a fantastic pasta dinner with more veggies than you can shake a stick at. And I ate courgettes without complaing. Cheers Lexy!

I noticed a few things this evening; we ran a reasonable, steady pace that a year ago I could not've maintained and held the conversation we did this evening; I'd've been rather wiped out, rather than today where I could've done the whole thing again.
Running in cushioned shoes is a bit like running blind - switched over to the Supernovas tonight to break them in for marathon training, but there is frustratingly little feedback from the road. I may try Sunday's 13.5 k run in my Inov-8 Road X 255s.
My altering of running style is showing improvements in my calves! My inner calves are firming up when once theywere soggy.

In short, I've improved.
