Getting creative with it!

Today is stressful because I've set myself some pretty big thesis challenges - 12,000 words by the end of the day! I was worried I wouldn't have time to get my run in (I'm still trying to get back into it since by 4 weeks off...) but I needed to go to the library to get a book out and thought, why can't that be my run? It's close enough to a 10-10 and besides, any run is better than none! Cue me browsing the shelves all red and sweaty but feeling pretty proud of myself tbh!

Great idea! Running has been my procrastination from dissertation writing so it is a great idea to make it helpful to your productivity!

Well done - that is some challenge - hope you manage it. I seem to remember that my whole dissertation was 12,000 words and it took me weeks!

Yes! That's the way to do it! Make running a part of your life! Soon you'll be running home from dropping the car off for a service or whatever! Great stuff!
