Morning running...

Giving a real effort to doing some running in the morning and today managed to get up at 5.20am and out of the house by 5.35am. Got about 8.5miles in around our flat. It was freezing cold but felt pretty refreshing to be out and about with the postmen! 3 laps around the circuit I've been using recently took just over an hour, getting warmed up as I went and gradually getting faster and feeling more natural as I went. Was nice as by the time I finished it was getting light, which has to be good for the soul!
Followed the run with a quick shower, breakfast, changed mini-me and then jumped in the car for a 75 minute drive to work this week. Fortunately the weather is lovely (if freezing) and the drive is relatively traffic free.
