Today was supposed to be a 6.5km run according to the HH Marathon Training program.
Funny start to the day and how the mind works.
For some reason my alarm went off at 5:20am (I never set the alarm!) I knew I had to get up and get out but still struggled.
But, dutifully got up and got ready.
Garmin 305 battery had run down. Laptop had rundown but not all the way so I could find out how far I had to run today from Hal’s site – 4 miles (about 6.6 kms)
The whole time I was getting ready my mind was doing the “go back to bed, go back to beeed!” routine.
Got out the door, very reluctantly. Started walking while I untangled the headphones and set up the iPhone to record the workout.
Started to run. Ran a kilometer.
Thought: “Just run 3km and then you have to come back, that’s 6. That’ll do.”
Got to the 3km mark.
Thought: “May as well keep going now.”
And on an on until, lo and behold, 7km!
So, to all those like me who struggle sometimes to get going … don’t think about it. Just get up, get dressed and get out there! We’ll feel better afterward. 
To those that do bound out of bed each morning … b@st@rds!!!! But I find you motivating and inspiring so keep it up … please.
I hope you got up ‘n’ out today, happy running!
