Run Fatboy Run 14 months ago

I’d give RFR 3/5 stars. It was quite good in places, but slow in others. Way too predictable, and as a marathon runner I just knew it wasn’t going to have any realism.

Failing 15 months ago

I’ve been failing badly at this thing for some time now.

I originally put it down to being sick or the cold, but even without these two factors I’ve found it near impossible to get out of bed early unless there’s some imploring reason to do so.

Maybe I just need to reassert myself.

STARTING TOMORROW, I will get up at 5am every morning.
(fingers crossed)

Too unwell 16 months ago

Waking up at 5am is unachievable at the present time. I’m not very well, so my body is loving its sleep way too much. I don’t mind, as I know it needs it more than I need to get up in the dark, and the cold.

I’ll focus on getting better, then I’m sure I’ll be better positioned to wake up early again.
