This morning hasnt started as well as i would have hoped, ive overslept my alarm and dragged myself from bed before 10am, hours later than usual for my normal run. There is something beautiful about seeing the city before dawn. When running well into the morning, it doesnt have the same magic but thats just more motivation to wake up earlier next time.

The run itself was pretty tough. Since finding out about 'toxic ten', im trying to pace myself as usually by 15min im into the rhytm and enjoy the 2nd part much more. Todays run was 90% effort, 10% enjoyment which actually kicked in at the very last minutes and pushed me to run some extra time! So overall good run but need to plan better for the next one and switch up my music to something more up tempo.

Good luck this week to Everyone and Merry Christmas!

Well done for getting out and doing it despite over sleeping. I have a similar experience to you that I only really start enjoying it towards the end. I guess its better that way around than the other so I have a boost to get out and run again next time rather than a memory of unpleasantness.
