Oh dear. That didn't go to plan

Hi folks. Last night I decided I was going to get up at 5 this morning and crack wk9r1.....

Well I had a really bad night's sleep, didn't get up till 5:30 dashed out, not in the right frame of mind and only managed 15 minutes. Legs just weren't moving so I sacked it. I'm now shattered after a really busy day and the obligatory pooch walk.

So. Giving myself a rest day tomorrow and will resume at the weekend. Week 9 is not going to defeat me and I'll save the morning runs for weekends in future. As the saying goes, "you live and learn!"

I run early in the week before work but have to be up for a good 40 mins before I leave and have a small bit of porridge. Week 9 won’t defeat you I’m sure, I’m just into week 7 so hope to follow your success soon. Good luck at the weekend! 🏃🏻‍♀️👍🏻🏃🏻‍♀️

Sounds like the reason I don’t run early mornings... I’d have to dash out with not time to prepare or relax. Well done getting up and having a go at it. Enjoy the real start to week 9 on Saturday.

You'll do it on Saturday with fresh legs and a more relaxed vibe. Let us know how it goes, we'll all be cheering you on. ☺

Thanks all. I'll let you know but it may be Sunday rather than Saturday. I'll see how life goes!

Enjoy the rest day, hope you have a lovely run on Saturday, week 9 currently feels like I’ve been hit by a truck so you have my sympathy, but we will get there and celebrate together by the end of next week.
