Day light

It's amazing the impact lighter mornings has on me and I am sure everyone else.  Not only does it put a spring in your step, but it just makes everything better.  So I set off slightly later this morning for an hours run and having not enjoyed my last run, this one was fantastic.  The scenery was beautiful and my target times were achieved so I felt fantastic.
I also picked up my bike from the mechanic having had it serviced before going off to Lanzarote.  I had a short, sharp, hard turbo session wearing my new shoes.  You might not realise the importance of cycling shoes but if my feet are going to be "cooking" in them for say 6.5 hours, I want them coming out "healthy".  In my first Ironman I had 4 black toe nails when I came off the bike and still had a marathon to run.  So tonight they were tested and there will be more testing of my shoes and my nutrition while in Lanza.  Nothing is left to chance.  Enjoy lighter mornings and longer nights by getting out there and doing something.
