Morning run reminder

I run in the evenings, I AM NOT a morning person.

However I have strained my back doing the garden today so I am resting when I had planned to run. This post is to say I want to have a go at running in the morning but will probably put it off if I don't tell anyone that. So I'm telling you guys on a bid to be motivated first thing!

You gone yet?

Early morning summer running is the best! Quiet and fresh, great way to start the day.

Get going girl!

I saw this just as my 2 year old came in and jumped on me, so naturally I had to have a cuddle. My other half was kind enough to take them to the lounge so I could sneak off. Punishment for laying in!

Well done you! I have just woken up and am considering a run. And by considering a run I mean struggling to find a valid reason to stay in my lovely comfortable bed 😴 I admire your dedication 👏

It was so warm for 6:30, it did make getting out there that much easier. Did you manage it?

in reply toTalulah1984

Well done Talulah1984 i can see you are all done and dusted before I even opened my eyes! In my defence I was late at a party, hence my plan to run late morning😉

Yes I made it! I have just got back and am feeling very pleased with myself. Thankyou for inspiring me to get out there. I am usually a midday runner but now I know the mornings are possible I may change that. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

Very well done - I find the hardest part is getting out the door! :) Once I am out I am grand!

Well done! I'm the exact opposite to you, there's no way I could even contemplate a run after work or even a weekend day at home. All my energy is concentrated in the morning.

So, did you manage to get out in th AM? How was it compared to the evening?

Talulah1984 profile image
Talulah1984Graduate in reply toNeverSayNoToJeffing

It was quiet, I mean the village is fairly quiet in general so I'm talking apocalypse-quiet, eerie almost. I liked having achieved so much before the hubby and kids were even dressed it felt like a head start. The day has got hotter and hotter so I'm really glad i didn't run this evening!
