I bunked off going to our local parkrun this morning as I'd only had about 4 hours sleep. Instead I ran the parkrun course by myself this afternoon - I've just got back.
As a 30-minute continuous run, it was a washout! I had to take several "micro-walks" of 20-30 seconds each, while I got my breath back and re-aligned myself. Meanwhile, my gremlins were taking it in turns to bombard me with messages: "It's too hot!" "I'm tired!" "I'll never make it up this hill!" etc.
On the plus side, though, I kept running after the "official" 30-minute period ended. Our course, in Mile End Park, has a fairly fiendish climb up and over the "Green Bridge", but at least there is an equally long downslope on the other side (wheeee!).
By my reckoning I made it round the whole 5K in just over 40 minutes - so about 95 seconds better than my initial attempt.
You wisely resisted running this morning, when you knew it'd be a struggle.
