Today was the 2011 HBF Run for a Reason. Despite the fact that I was feeling quite sick on Friday, I pulled myself together for the run. Free Transperth services were running, roads were closed, people’s breath misted through the air in the chill. I went to bed extra early on Saturday (at 8:45pm) and woke up at 5:15am in the dark, padding out of the bedroom so as not to disturb C and sleepily tugging on my running clothes. I would be running in my trusty full length Skins compression tights and my new 2XU compression top with my free South Team HBF t-shirt (this year HBF had a “North vs South” thing going). On top of this I pulled on an old red jumper and a big coat. I was still cold.
