6am!

6am! The alarm goes off. Then begins the internal fight of sleep vs exercise. Turn the alarm off and get up or hit snooze and get 10 mins more sleep? Do I get up or do I message Nic to say not today? It is still dark outside and it is a little chilly (for me anyway). What is there to entice me out of my bed to do running other than feeling good for doing it? Yes, no, yes, no, yes, no. After the 15 minute argument with myself and a text from Nic to say he was awake, exercise won!

I got to Nic's place at 6:30 and we went for a run. I felt tired but not from lack of sleep, just the, this is early morning and I have just woken up tired. I took a while to get going with the running, which surprised me a little. Also my legs were really tight. I tried to do a PB but didn't manage it. I realise I can't do a pb every time I go running but it is still a small let down when I don't beat it (or get close to it). Sometimes I wonder what it is that helps me go faster. Is it the music I listen to? Is it the fact I am running on my own? It is an interesting thing.

I am glad I went out this morning it makes me feel good and is a great way to start the day. Will be easier to get up when it isn't so cold and dark. Just have to wait for winter to be over.
