Training day 5
I somehow managed to not set my alarm this morning!
I had my phone set to go off at 6.40, and then the proper alarm to go off at 6.45. This is because I am crap when it comes to the snooze button - and I have one of those buttons that you hit it once you get 10 minutes, twice you 20 minutes, and so on…..
So, the phone goes off, and I switch it off. I then fall back to sleep until the proper alarm goes off. I hit the snooze button 4 times, which puts it past the time the radio is set to come on.
Only it must have been the radio and my sleep addled brain didn’t make the connection. I hauled myself out of bed to get dressed ready for my run, only to find it was normal time for getting up, and I didn’t have time!
So I had to go after work.
The plan was the 6/1 ratio. However, even though the weather was crap, there were too many people in the park - some teenagers right by where I was due to start my first run. I waited until I’d rounded some bushes, and ran for a bit but because I was all out from my music timings, I don’t know how long. I am pretty sure it wasn’t a minute though. I didn’t manage the full second minute either, and when it got to the third, again there were just too many people about.
I have properly set the alarms now, and intend to get up - there will be far fewer people about in the morning, letting me do my running/walking in relative privacy.
Legs are still hot though. And I am soooooo hungry! So I am definitely doing something good.
