Went out at 5 am again! What is going on? It’s like my body throws me out of bed on run days 🏃‍♂️

😃 Another 25 min run....MJ tells me that’s it for walking now, just running no stops! 7 weeks ago ....”no way”! The last two runs......”ok then”

I still can’t believe I’m doing this without too much trouble....not just that, and don’t ask me how, but I’m actually enjoying it. I ran in the Army years ago, you had to, but I hated it 🙁 This, I’m loving! I feel better emotionally & physically & am dropping weight 👍🏻😃

Keep going everyone it’s well worth the effort!

I got a 30-min lie in compared to you! Something quite nice about getting out early and getting it done, not to mention cooler!

I certainly started that early originally because of the weather but now it seems it just suits me 👍🏻😃

I love running in the early mornings, and like you I have no problem getting up. Isn’t it weird? When I had horses and had to be up early to do them, I found it really hard even though I loved having them. Running is particularly addictive and I love it!

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️😀❤️👍🏻

Yes I go out at 6am for my runs, it's great, the dog gets to run about without too much bother! The baby has me up at 5am for her 1st feed, maybe I should just go straight after that instead?? I'll see how the night goes!

in reply toDzhn

As long as it suits you and you can maintain the schedule go when you like....I started early mornings because of the weather but now it’s just easier, less traffic, cooler, less embarrassing in the early days as no one was about 🤣. I also like to get it done early in the day as it seems to agree with my general mood 😮

Yes, I have the same problem, waking at 5 a.m. Even on non run days! So annoying 😳. But this running lark is addictive, dare I say it, it's fun! Did a crazy club run last night, fast and furious - and I loved it. Something weird going on!!

Not what you're looking for?
