When it rains it pours!

Well I had all intentions of getting up this morning. My clothes were all ready on the landing from the night before, my alarm went off at 6.45am and I turned it off and rolled over! I'm just not a morning person, as anyone who knows me will agree! I was managing to get up early a few weeks ago but that novelty has worn off already! I was battling in my head but again the thought of an extra half an hour in bed got the better of me.
So for the rest of the day I was really annoyed with myself as I thought that was really my only opportunity this week to do a run until Saturday. You see Paul is back on nights, so early mornings or after work runs really aren't in the question.
I returned home from work just after 5 and Paul presented me with a very bright pink running jacket that he bought me today. Reduced from 45 pounds to 15..bargain. The kids were eating their dinner and he said go now if you want to get a run in before I go. So I ran upstairs to change before he changed his mind!
Rather than drive to the seafront as I have been doing, I decided to run from the house which would make the time I was out shorter. As I left it started to rain!
Anyway, I ran and walked for 16 mins tonight. Not quite as long I have been doing but I changed it slightly by walking for 1.5 mins and increasing my run to 2.5 mins, 3 mins, 2 mins and then 2.5 mins with the walking in between. It was harder tonight as it wasn't flat like it is at the beach. I am chuffed that I have managed to run 3 minutes, wow I must be improving.  The rain really came down while I was out, but it was actually really nice running in the rain, almost liberating!
Now having had my dinner and scoffed a kitkat this evening, reading various running blogs, I have decided I really need to start concentrating on eating the right foods to give me energy on my runs if I am going to get any better! xx
