I only slept okay last night. I went to bed at 10:00pm to start a routine about going to bed at the same time. I think I woke up around 3:30am and then 4:53am with an alarm time of 5:30am. 
When the alarm finally did go off, I really didn’t feel like getting up. BUT, the philosophy of “Don’t think, Just do” saw me putting my feet on the floor and my running clothes on.
It really was a mindless morning.
I was still thinking about bed about 400m into the run. I was running too quick too early, the morning was cold and all I wanted to do was turn around and get back into bed. I could feel it!
But, I made it to my first reference point, a light pole where I normally begin to stride out, and then it was no turning back. And when I got to the turnaround point, well, all I had to do was run back!
It wasn’t my most enjoyable run but I did complete it and in a time of 24:13, which, while it didn’t beat my best of 23:20 it wasn’t on a treadmill either. So I’m pretty pleased with how it went.
A breakfast of oats, coffee and water and I’m done.
I’ll fill in the readings later.
I also discovered the website www.logyourrun.com which is a great resource for recording your stats and weight and goals. I’ve been in touch with them and they are very responsive and helpful.
I also realised I hadn’t registered my Polar RS200 watch so I went and did that and found they have a website where you can record your data. So many options – so little time! 
More running and maybe a swim tonight. Weigh in tomorrow.
