Running can be such a mental game sometimes - I really was dreading getting up early this morning to get out there, totally psyched myself up last night about it. However I took the advice of laying out everything the night before so at 6am this morning I got up, got dressed, did some active stretching and headed out the door. I was halfway down the road before I realised that I'd done it all without any fuss. Without really thinking about it all. So there you go - it's all in the mind.
The run went okay, although I was a little fast out the gate which burned me out a bit but I made it through just fine and by the time I'd got home and had a hot shower and a cup of coffee I was feeling great. Onwards to week 3!
