Daylight ...I need daylight!

Go to work in the dark, come home in the dark, night shift awake all night in the dark, it sucks!
Trying to find my motivation to run but it sometimes gets lost under a nice warm duvet or at Starbucks with multiple refills. As I'm 'technically' in the offseason I feel more validity when I miss a workout or run, or drive to work when it's 4 degrees and raining.
But yet when I do get out and do my run or come home from a ride it feels awesome, and I have always known that it will feel awesome. Running is my passion, 5 minutes or 5 hours , it always feels good.

Quiet ride

Up early(5am) to start the second day of my 4 day block. It was a crisp(1 degree C) ride in on my mountain bike but at least it wasn't raining. The streets were pretty quiet on this Monday morning ride, just the sound of rubber meeting the road and some laboured breathing.
Showered up and into uniform and we'll see what the day brings...

About me,

I guess we ask this of ourselves all the time, 'about me' ...what defines us? Our jobs, family, ethos, passion, is it our past or the present. Who am I ?   I guess you'll find out.
I run...a lot. I'm in a cross-cultural marriage, I have 2 daughters that look nothing like me. I'm a Paramedic. I hate rude people and racists. I used to be a British Royal Marine Commando.
Everybody has a story to tell, an opinion, a rant....this is mine
