Here's me running that super windy race - why do I always have my eyes closed in race photos?
Note the swept back hair - weather induced and not deliberate! Who's the smiley guy two behind me? Why can't I look like that in race photos? He's either the world's happiest runner or else he's not trying hard enough!
Also on the way back from the Park Run, I went by the post office to collect my RoadID wrist band (not a bracelet, definitely not a bracelet). Here it is.
It's like a little collar for cats but for joggers. I think you can buy a bell attachment so you can't sneak up on cyclists.
When reading The Runners Rule Book there was a section on wearing ID bracelets wrist bands when out running. The author said that he always wears one when he runs and that so should you. I thought this was good advice. Twice through a combination of exhaustion and stupidity I have ran out on to the road in front of a car and both times I actually thought to myself that I should carry ID in case my luck runs out. I didn't know that ID bracelets wrist bands existed and now that I own one I will be wearing it all the time. I have tested it out a couple of times now and it is comfortable to run in. Hopefully I will never need it but now that I am running EVERY DAY, I suppose I am statistically more likely to have an accident or fall ill while running. At £12 plus P&P it's a no-brainer.
