Not a good idea to run after a long shift, best of luck on Monday and don’t worry if you have to take a few extra days between runs because of work

My first run is tomorrow as well. Good luck. Quite worried that I won't be able to do it. But I have to give it a go as you are all inspiring with your replies.
