So finally managed to eliminate that crazy pain. Drank a pile of water before I set out, warmed up properly, and tried not to push myself too much, which ironically allowed me to push myself further, because I didn’t have to hobble home after 15 minutes with stomach cramps.

I’m slowly creeping my alarm earlier and early. By 10-15 minute increments, depending on how brave I feel. I’m a major morning wuss, but I know that the only way running will be a regular part of my life is if I get it out of the way first thing in the morning. Evening has too much space for rationalisation and fatigue.

Yay yay yay.
