Well now, that was a surprise!!

[Cakerunner]

So today my darling teenage offspring distured my peaceful slumber at 3.30am......as they do! And, being unable to get back to sleep...tried Horlicks and everything....😁 I decided at 5.30 to put on my running gear.......then went and produced my fastest, most comfortable 5k ever!!! Shaved a full 2 minutes of my previous pb, I mean, what even??🤣🤣🤣🏃‍♀️

I'm not sure that only 4 hours sleep(I'm an 8 hour girl) and a big mug of Horlicks is a prescribed method to faster pace, but hey, whatever works for you right?!🤣🤣

Of course, I'll fall asleep at the end of my yoga class tonight during the relaxation......💤

Wow!! Well done you!!! That sound amazing!! I love impromptu runs.

I’d planned to run my 19k run today. Early night, new running vest with water bladder all ready, shoes, clothes, gels ...all set out, phone, Garmin watch and headphones all charged .....

Been tossing and turning all night and don’t think I managed 2 full hours sleep. Neighbours cat howling under my window ( I super-soakered him), empty plastic bottle from someone’s recycling rolling up and down the road, next doors gazebo creaking in the wind...... now huddled up in warm dressing gown, with a stiff neck and very dodgy tummy, cuddling a cat..... I’m postponing that run I’m afraid.

[ButtercupKid Graduate]

Magic ! So much better for you than lying awake fuming 😄

[Cakerunner Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Yes! I agree😃

[Buddy34 Graduate]

Well done you . Nothing worse being wide awake when it's supposed to be sleeping time . You put it to good use 😊

[Cakerunner Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

Thank you Buddy34.....I feel a 'nana nap' will be needed later on though 🤣

[Buddy34 Graduate in reply to Cakerunner]

Yes definitely 😊

[Windoze Graduate]

Awesome. I fuel my am runs with coffee and a jelly baby 🤪

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to Windoze]

Can you stop at 1 jelly baby?

[Cakerunner Graduate in reply to Jell6]

Nope, not me....half a packet at least!!🤣🤣

[motherduckling Graduate]

Congrats!

Hmm maybe I should try going for a run the next time my nocturnal magpie friend who lives outside my window starts warbling at 3am? Rather than just threatening to let the cat outside to get him?

[Cakerunner Graduate in reply to motherduckling]

Hahaha...see, I'd probably threaten him with the cat.....then give up and go for a run anyway!! 🤣🤣

[Jell6 Graduate]

That's my usual running time, isn't it lovely out there at that time, before the world wakes up?😊

[Cakerunner Graduate in reply to Jell6]

It is Jell6, I love it, its my favourite time of day 😊

[Fabulous450 Graduate]

Go Sonia!! Well done you! The 5:30am freedom run and a very very nice result too!! 🤩❤️

[Cakerunner Graduate in reply to Fabulous450]

The freedom run, I love that, it shall always be called that😁🤣🏃‍♀️

[Katnap Graduate]

Uh oh! I hope you didn't do any bottom burps before passing out during yoga! 😀😅

[Cakerunner Graduate in reply to Katnap]

Hahaha, Katnap!! The old 'yoga bottom burp' I managed to avoid it this time!😉🤣🤣🤣
