Who’d have thought i’d be greeting 5.30am alarm calls again? I waved goodbye to early rising with enthusiastic abandon when my children finished school and left home. Never in my wildest dreams did i imagine i would willingly be conscious at that time again. The idea that the reason for these premature wake up calls would be so i could go running would have been positively laughable even 5 months ago.
Whodathunkit?! The ‘need’ to get a run in before it gets too hot goes against every natural urge to remain in my cosy bed.
I tried the stepping stones podcast this morning. I’d been putting it off because i was worried that i run too slow. It was a pleasant suprise to find that the 150-160bm was actually slower than my natural pace (just). So that was encouraging. I didn’t feel too depleted after.
Mind you - i got back at 7am and fell asleep over my cup of tea - slept for 2 hours! I need a bit of practice at this morning thing.
Morning run 😁
