Early morning Activity

For the first time in a while was awake before the alarm 04:00(what's that all about) so decided to start my early morning run session quick drink of water and out the door at 04.50 and off we go slowly breathing a bit ropey but soon calmed down keeping it steady got to 2.5 Km and intense stomach pain and that good old bit of advice you used to get off your mum when you were younger came to mind and I had the fastest .5km I had had for a while but managed to avoid disaster. Oh well next run Thursday remembering to do what I didn't today.

It was nice to be out this morning the only other inconvenience was the amount of dew on the grass it was like running with sponges on your feet what with the squelching

Haha! I was up with the larks this morning too. Didn't see a soul in the park at 5am, it was great.

I look at early starts as the dawn of a new day when doing C25k last year I was regularly out before 5 in the morning

Hey MoK, good to see you. Now you'll remember to do the essential 'early, early' morning activity before the mere 'early' morning activity!😉
