Running and work - do go together after all!!

[dragon84]

I managed to get up yesterday and go for my run. I am most definitely not a morning person and getting to sleep at midnight doesn't help but I did get up and complete the run. It was hard but mainly because I wasn't really awake and so I didn't put enough effort into the warm up walk (and it was so cold). I struggled on some of the runs but I did feel good about completing it. The yoga afterwards was necessary to stretch out and not be in pain at work and I wasn't so it must be working.

I have given up drinking alcohol as well as I am in need of control over some areas of my life and it is strange to try and get to sleep without a drink.

I will perservere as I will see the results in the end.

Hope you are all doing well

Good for you dragon84 - sounds like you are making a real change in your life. You should be really proud and I'm sure you will soon adjust. You will also find that getting more exercise will help you sleep, I have found that.

Thank you, I'm sure I will.

Well done, dragon! You're doing great! I really admire the way you're taking control of your life! Good luck for the rest of the programme.

You are doing really well dragon. I've really cut down on alcohol too since I started this plan. The sleepiness from running is much nicer than the fuggy sleepiness from alcohol, are you finding that yet?

I am not finding yet, though working 2 -10 shifts doesn't lead to relaxation at night

Maybe next week
