I like running in the dark... keeps things slow and steady. I'm also less worried about loose dogs in the dark as Ninja dog walkers tend to keep their hounds on the lead. Not that I often see anyone out there.
I'm still a bit sore after my tumble but 3 nights on and my sleep was less disturbed. The first 2 nights were a nightmare - when ever I moved I woke up as I bashed my elbow on the duvet! Not exactly the hardest thing to bash into but it still hurt like hell. Anyway, last night was much more comfy. It hasn't stopped me running so thats a good thing.
Tiny, as the others say, have your kit ready, don't hit snooze. You are either going to leap into action or not. Sometimes not going out is an option, but don't take it as the easy option.
It's always cold for the first half mile - two options either put something on over the top of your normal gear that can be taken off and wrapped around your middle, or just man up for the first bit knowing that you are going to warm up!
(I use option 1 more often than not! 
)
Did I see the word lurgy on the thread - out, damned lurgy! Out I say.
Morning peeps - it's frigging lashing down out there. Lucky today is a rest day
