I dragged myself out of bed on New Years Day and went for a run. It was a good one. I was nervous as I usually go about 6am, not many people around to see me, New Years Day was at about 9amish. Strange though, I had not as much sleep and it was a good run where I picked up the speed for a few minutes where as two days previous, when I had much more sleep, I struggled, completed it but had to push myself and talk myself to keep going.

Great run. Your fitness and strength is rising run by run, so that will be part of it... less sleep isn’t the best prep, but it worked for you yesterday! Enjoy the next one.
