No snoozing

I really didn't want to do today's run. I woke up at 0600 still very tired and the thought of a 4 mile run made me just want to curl up under the duvet even more!!

I had no time to "snooze" this morning because I had one more mile than usual to do. So I was up at 0600 and into the bathroom to freshen up and run my cold bath for when I get back. Shaved, washed and changed and I was out the door.

I had to remember to turn left at the top of the road today instead of right...left for long runs, right for up to 3 miles!! So first mission accomplished, I was going in the right direction!! It wasn't cold this morning, it actually felt quite mild which made a nice change. But it was still pitch black though, and felt like the middle of the night.

I didn't enjoy the run today, maybe because I was just a bit too tired. However I managed to get it all done in 33 minutes 56 seconds which is about 8 and a half minutes a mile so I'm pleased with the end result at least!! Next is 3 miles on Sunday before I attempt an 8 miler on Sunday for the first time ever. Something tells me that Sunday's scone will be the best ever after that!!
