Finally an excuse to start colour co-ordinating my kit!

I often begin to wonder halfway through a long run whether I'm going to make it to the finish or not, an unfortunate result of my poor level of endurance fitness. But recently its been for an entirely different reason (even though my endurance is far from good!). With more and more news stories about walkers/dog walkers and runners claiming to of seen the infamous "big cat" that is apparently living in the Gloucester area. I have always dismissed this as nonsense, but every day somebody new has found the remains of this cats dinner - with some being in the woods where I do most of my running! Now i'm no scardy-cat (sorry!), but all of a sudden i'm looking over my shoulder every few minutes, and any dog that I come across terrifies me!

I thought I would wear some bright coloured kit so that the cat would see me coming, which finally gives me a proper excuse to wear my orange Adidas Tempos with my orange Saucony Epic long sleeve top! Smart. Despite looking like i've just been tangoe'd I seem to be running well this week, if i can carry this on for a little while then I think i can run a PB indoors soon, if I could just find some orange middle distance spikes....
