Due to do Week 5 Run 2 tonight and then Run 3 - the big one on Weds night after work. Weds will be a 14 hour day with commute so I really think I'll struggle? therefore I think I'll do Run 2 tonight and again on Weds for a second time or rest even.
This will mean I can do Run 3 early on Friday morning as I am (hopefully) working from home. If not I can do Sat AM.
Am I being sensible or defeatist?
Maybe you are trying to put it off?? You wouldn't be the first! 
Why not just wait and see how you feel on Wednesday and decide then; you may be pleasantly surprised at how well your body can respond

I found that w5r3 was more mentally challenging than physically. Once you've got passed the first 10 minutes the next 10 seem to go by a lot easier. If you're thinking of doing run 2 again you may as well do run 3 and get it over with.
I just did WK5R2 this morning, and it's not as hard as you think it's going to be. I even started off feeling a bit clunky, it was snowing, I hardly slept last night, and my mind was worrying about the million things I need to do this week. But it was over before I knew it, and I felt like I could have kept going!
I would wait and see how you feel after your run tonight and then decide. Personally, I wouldn't want to repeat R2. And if you feel like you could do R2 after your 14 hour day, then why not push yourself a wee bit harder and just do R3?!
Good points thanks. Will see how I feel Weds night.
