I beginning to feel like a runner - Wk5R2

[Am_i_really_running]

I was woke by a tannoy announcement of CCTV something or other at 0430 this morning. I have no idea where is was but I was awake!! After 5 minutes of only thinking about my next run it was up and ready with a banana and some water.

The playlist I use is on shuffle and the first song was Completely Madness, quite apt for the time of run!!

I was dreading it but actually found the first 8 minutes, I'll say it, easy. No crap and not as out of breath as previous runs but I took all your advice and paced myself very slowly to start.

The 5 minute was seemed to last forever and I was wanting it to end so I could run again.

The last run was slower which I guess is understandable. I had a different app running in parallel and it was quite a bit slower but again its not the speed but the duration that counts.

I lasted although I would normally speed up for the last minute but this time there was much left in the tank.

BUT I completed the run and I'm chuffed with myself.

Beer festival later today, if I'm still awake to go.

Have a lovely Easter Weekend to you all and thanks for the tips.
