I find it hard some weeks, especially if I don't get enough sleep. Most days I want to do some exercise I am up at 5am.

Lesley my daughter has 3 small ones and goes to the gym at 5 or she wouldn’t be able. Leaves her exhausted though.

It's definitely exhausting LL. Going to be harder getting getting up now that it is darker in the mornings. Very easy 6 this morning, it was pretty cold when I left - below 5 degrees. It was beautiful though, clear skies and mist in the valley. |

Well done Lesley for your 6 miles, and another 6 miles this morning.I'm glad to hear that the wee man likes conkers. When I was young, many, many years ago, we used to play conkers in the school playground, and number them according to how many wins they had made. We also added the number of wins by the opponents we had defeated to our own conker. It rained earlier this morning, but the sun is out now. Just the usual Friday Farmers Walk today. |

Nice mileage run this morning Lesley. Have run a streak saving mile this morning. I’m running the Lakeland trails 10k at Derwentwater tomorrow, I’m really looking forward to it. |

Good luck with your 10k Lakeland Trials tomorrow Jaks. FF some kids used to cheat at conkers by baking them, or soaking them in vinegar. My Dad wouldn't let me do that. |

During my wife's ultra days (having a break from them currently) during peak training she would get up at 3am to run a marathon before work. Ugh . Now it's the b***** two cats that want something at around the same time before "normal" alarm time of 5.30am. Children though do need much more input but early morning snacks at 4am are tough! Well done Lesley on beating the tiredness especially on that threshold six miler. Yes, conkers were the competitive world of autumn, I think it's generally screen games today. It was quite humid on my "late" run/walk at 9am. Did five miles and saw no benefit in having had breakfast and coffee before setting off! Never have done. Well done on your streak Jaks and I'm sure your Lakeland event will be great. |
