Woke up late and while it was tempting to just lie there and run after work, I am happy I dragged myself out the door and ran before work.

As is always the case, I am never a fan of the first 60 seconds of the first run. Maybe it just takes time for my body to get into things.

I'm currently in my kitchen with a cup of tea and that I'm-exhausted-but-energised post run feeling never gets old. Great way to start a Monday!

Happy running

I love doing my run first thing too! Glad it went well! Hope you are enjoying that cuppa! You deserve it. Well done 👍

Thank you!

I'm with you on early morning runs. It's the perfect way to start your day. There's something about the quiet of the morning which is just magical.

Another fan of early morning runs here!

Well done 👏👏👏

I am early morning run fan too. Many times I’ve wanted to just lie in bed but I’ve never regretted getting up and running. My body hates the first kilometre though!

[shrinkingjaz Graduate in reply to Jemmawoody]

I try to remember this, that I'll never regret a workout. It can be hard to get out of bed, but we'll worth it.

I already get up at 4.45... I couldn't imagine getting up any earlier, running has to come later. 👎🏼

I struggle getting my body to fall into line on the odd early ones I've managed, it's just too set in routine 🤣

[shrinkingjaz Graduate in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

4:45! Wow, that is very early! Is there any reason why?

And out of interest, what time do you sleep?

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate in reply to shrinkingjaz]

I'm in work by 6.20, breakfast, get ready etc, travel, I usually aim to be asleep by 9pm.

[shrinkingjaz Graduate in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

That's so inspiring, being up that early!

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate in reply to shrinkingjaz]

That's one way to look at it! 🤣🤣🤣 I used to say anything pre-5 was NightTime! It just becomes routine although I do love the pre-dawn skies 💕

I agree that I find it best to run first thing in the morning - the feeling when you finish is great and breakfast tastes so much better as you feel you have earned it!!!

[shrinkingjaz Graduate in reply to Carowood]

Can't argue with that! 🤣
