Nasty Day-Glo and Lycra - Jan 13th 75 mins - 98 days to marathon

Ahhhh daylight running rocks. Being able to see where I'm going, not having to worry about pot holes in the dark, not having to run looking like an 80's throwback bedecked in dayglo. Still, I'm confident that there is more bad taste in running than anywhere else. Anyone who crosses over from regular gym wear to skimpy shorts, lyrca, (figure hugging and often packet gripping lycra), wifebeater vests, dayglo accessories, has to have some strange devotion to getting into shape. Only then does running wear start to look like the shoe fits and even then, its still a pretty nasty shoe.

Maybe running at night isn't too bad as it saves exposing the general public to the wardrobe of sins trotting around central London.
