A spanner in the works!

Not sure what happened last night but my stomach went into spasm and I felt dreadful , early bed. Being an insomniac I was up during the night taking on water , telling myself no run in the morning.. By the time the morning was here , I felt well but decided to take it easy and slowly . My normal run time is 6.30 - 7.00 am , this went by ....... At 8.30 am my head and body was shouting run.... So I did as I felt good and was hydrated . I ran even slower than normal and did have it in my head that at any stage I felt bad I would stop but I felt good . A great Jack the Ripper Pod cast and a lovely cool morning , gosh I felt alive . W8R3 done.. And my phone kept going with Laura and my Pod Cast , a first thanks to another poster on here......

I think that’s a good mantra if I don’t feel well I can and will stop. I really admire early morning runners I am not a morning person

I hate the thought of getting up early but I love it when I am up.. And the air feels so good early in the morning.

Well done, you're nearly there 🙂. I love a morning run but as I set off for work at 06.50, I need to be out of the door for 05.30. I got a shock Monday morning, it was still dark, gulp! I had to do an evening run which aren't quite the same when I've been on my feet all day. I love a run that gets rid of all the aches and leaves me feeling alive. Onwards and upwards, good luck with wk 9 👍

Not sure I want to run in the dark.. But I am lucky I only work 8 hours a week. Happy running.

Phew! After the first sentence I started to get worried as I am willing you over the finish line.

Hopefully you are recovered and its great you got through your run. You are one determined lady.

Even though I have graduated you are an inspiration. Thank you.

Feel great thank you.. Not sure what is was. Thank you for your kind words, I take my inspiration from the lovely people on here who find out against the demons in their heads that they are actually runners!.. You have just made me realise , I will be a graduate soon , all being good!.. Thank you.

Good for you MrsRun! I’m struggling to get out of bed early enough to be back, showered and at my desk for 9.

Hope you are feeling better - you are so close to the finish line!

I know I am very fortunate that I can run early in the morning , I only work 8 hours a week normally and a late start at that! The darker mornings are going to feel strange ! Happy running.
