Gave up half way through week7 run 2

I gave up today after about 10 mins running today. I ran in the afternoon which I have never done before and also did not leave a full day in between runs. I will have another go on Tuesday morning - the cooler air at 6am seems to make running easier for me - any reason why?

All the advise is put it behind you- I am a rubbish afternoon runner - much better in the early morning- Good luck for Tues :-)

We all have times that work and don't work for us - the key is just to not let it bother you next time you go out, put it from your mind and enjoy the 6am air....which I must say is a time of day that has never ever ever worked for me!!!!!

Did it! Ran for 25 mins this morning at 5.40am - mornings are so much better for me! Thanks for the support, will be back out on Thursday morning for week7r3.

Being out of bed at 5:30 brings a tear to my eye, I work in a nursery so I still need energy for the day but something in me is making me want to try a morning run..
