Good afternoon all,
I like to think myself as an early morning runner, getting my exercise in before I start work. However, I really struggled to drop off to sleep last night, no particular reason, just one of those nights when I couldnt stop my brain from thinking!
Alarm went off at 5:45am as normal, but my inner sloth refused to allow me to get up, all of a sudden I was finding excuses not to go; my groin was a bit tight and my knee had a very very feint ache.... the long and the short of it was I didnt go - I got up at 8am and started work (I work from home).
After a morning of emails and phone calls I popped on here and saw the post from Instructor57 , about beating the gremlins and completing his W9R2 run and only being one away. Within 5 minutes, I had my running gear on, had shoved half a narna down my kneck and few gulps of water, and was off on my 5 minute warm up walk!
It was a lot hotter than I am used to, but without wishing to sound too blase, was a relatively straight forward run, no dramas, and I felt like I could have gone on a little longer. Still only 8mins per KM, but its another run in the bag!
So thankyou to Mr Instructor and this forum in general for the inspiration; I am now due to graduate on Wednesday, and there is nothing that will stop me from getting up and at em!
See you at the finish line,
Definitely a morning runner!
It can be done!
Feeling glum...missed my run this morning
