Well that was some battle i had this morning with those darn gremlins but i won!

Alarm went off at 6:15 and i knew i needed to get up and do this run but snoozed it. 6.30 snoozed again - i was awake, lying there thinking about how dark it was, that it would be cold, etc 6.45 - still in bed...gremlins saying "now you don't have time...a run,shower, kids up, breakfast...it can't be done" 7am I am out of bed - dressed and out the door with minimum faffage (kit out on my bed ready night before :-) ) and off i go - instead of going for distance i went for time - so 30 minutes set, it was light now so i could do my trusty park route, a touch windy in places but i thoroughly enjoyed it. Sunrise was also lovely to see.

I'm not gonna lie it was a rush when i got back, and i only sat down for 10 minutes to eat breakfast then off to school and work! But that is my fault for waiting so long to get out! The important thing is i did get out and kicked those πŸ‘Ώ out! Bring on the next one, I'm ready

Well done for slaying those gremlins alison. I’m always so impressed with stories of running before sorting out children, breakfast and work. You are stars ✨ ⭐️

Well done, Alison. I had a similar situation. Alarm at 5:50. Did I really want to go out in the dark and cold? No, but I did anyway.

So a bad day for the gremlins all round.

Well done. I wish they hadn’t invented the snooze button!
