I did it!!!!
So chuffed, seriously...
After 50 minutes of pressing the snooze button, I finally got up at 10 to 7 this morning (yeah i calculate at least 30 minutes of snooze button pressing before my actual awakening time....i'm a real hero, innit).
Threw my workout clothes on, glugged down a couple of glasses of water, grabbed a banana and on my way to the lakey-parky-abbeyey area where I do my running.
I realised that it takes me considerably more than 20 minutes to get there. Going there, run-walking, and returning took up almost 1h40mins of my time... Not complaining though, it was lovely..
So, I ran. I was terrified when the first run started, I anticipated (for whatever reason, selfdoubt is my perpetual master) that it would go much worse than the first time around. But it didn't...
IN FACT IT WENT MUCH BETTER.

I am assuming that I ran slower (no shame in that), I really tried to pace myself this time, to not reach complete knock-out by the end. And, seriously, it was ok. First time around I felt like I would never be able to move to Week 2, but now it seems like a possibility, even if a distant one :)
Here's to many more good runs
Cheerio
