Runners guilt

So I set my alarm to go running this morning much earlier than I usually do, I work late nights so usually have the luxury of being able to get up later. I couldn't even get out of bed this morning. So now I'm feeling super guilty because up until now if I've planned to go for a run I've done it. Now concerned in case I can't fit my run anywhere else in the day! Anyone else had this? Tips on not feeling guilty welcome! 😂😂

Yeah... it’s crazy huh? I didn’t run for 30 years and now if life gets in the way of my run time I get guilt and the grumps! Remind yourself that it’s ok to miss the odd day and get out there tomorrow if it doesn’t fit today.
