SEE THE LIGHT

I began running about a year ago, approaching 50. It has not come easy to me but I’m determined to stick with it. However, I’ve struggled with running in the dark over the winter – I’m nervous of slipping or falling. Then I read the article about ‘Blind Dave’ (RW, Dec 2016) and what a wake-up call! Now when I run in the evening, I’ll think of Dave and kick on, faster and longer. I’ll absorb the sights and the sounds and appreciate how lucky I am to be able to get out and run.
