What I want to do for these weekday sessions is get up at 6, run, cool down and stretch, have a leisurely coffee and a shower and pootle in to work in a relaxed fashion. Yeah, right. I cannot get our of bed at 6. Not when it's pitch black out. I may need one of those alarm clocks that simulates a sunrise or something. That might help. But left to my own devices? Never gonna happen.
I did manage to drag my sorry carcass out of bed at 6.30, though. I did the same session that was last week's 'hard' run: 15 minutes' running, 1 minute's recovery, twice over. I didn't manage to cover quite as much distance as last time, at least in part I imagine due to the air shredding my lungs with every inhalation. This weather is going from one extreme to the other, in no time at all! I will need new gloves and a fright hat to keep my ears warm before too long.
Nevertheless, I have proved to myself that I am in fact capable of getting a run in, in the morning. Even if afterwards I had no time for a coffee, rushed through the shower thing and fretted about where the bus was. With Starbucks Gingerbread Latte season fast approaching, however, I am actually quite willing to forego my cup of Tesco Gold Roast at home before I set off!
Now taking body measurement readings twice a day - once when I get up and once at 8.30 pm - as there are some really wild-looking fluctuations in the charts when I'm just taking them when I manage to remember. I'm hoping some consistency will deliver some consistency. AND some evidence of progress, of which there currently is none.

Apologies for all who, like me, hate text verification, but Poland is full of scum, hitting me with 10 to 20 spam comments a day and this is the only way to stop it.
