Pack it up, pack it in

Run in the morning, or run in the evening? I was feeling a bit rough so the obvious choice would be to wait until the evening to have a better run, right? Just laze about for a bit in the morning, get the washing on, do the dishes.

Or, the alternative would be to decide that while I’m dehydrated, on the verge of a headache and it’s blowing a hooly and cold, I should stuff some old jeans into a small rucksack and start running with a pack to get used to it. The hell’s wrong with me?

The bag was only a couple of kilos but I’m more interested in finding out how it sits while I run, where it rubs, how I like to have the straps and all that. I’ve run with a few times but not for any particularly great distance so this is something that I need to start working into my routines.

Turns out I can also run a fairly decent 10km into the wind, wearing a pack, while sweating out a hangover.
