Some people, like me, just prefer running longer rather than faster. And being an activity I enjoy I don't mind it takes more time.
Anyway, I'm kind of annoyed by the daylight saving time. Why do we save daylight when we have so little? Now by the time I start running it's already pretty dark and by the time I finish I barely see anything. I guess I just have to put my headlamp to some good use from now on.
I have the same issue here. I usually run after work, and this time of year it’s starting to get dark early, even without the time change.Quote:

My dad started doing a bit of running a couple of years ago, he regularly does park runs at weekends and the odd 5k/10k. He has lost a lot of weight but probably mostly down to counting the calories. As I only see him every couple of months it's still a surprise for me when I see him, if you didn't know then you'd think there was something wrong with him!
Would love to be able to run more, but don't particularly enjoy it and as with other exercise I suffer from a severe lack of stamina. I did watch a triathlon on tv the other week and thought it would be fun to do - then realised that I'm not a particularly good swimmer (and I HATE cold water), pretty slow on a bike, and don't like the running! :p:
Spent last weekend tidying up my garage and moving all the bike stuff out of the road, just need to give the bike itself a good clean before leaving it for the winter. Luckily I did this and put the car inside when the next day I found two tiles smashed on my driveway where it's usually parked :/
Played a bit more tennis recently, getting better and more confident and doing better shots. Still a lot of bits of technique I need to work on but will come with time I hope :up:
You aren't slow on a bike, your bike is just slow on the road, big difference. We should go to Hamsterley Forest or somewhere where I can rent a mountain bike. Of course if it's too cold for you ;)Quote:
