Oversleeping.... ooops

So this morning I had planned to get up early and do 10k before I headed out for the day. Unfortunately my arm had other ideas when it reached out and repetitively pressed the snooze button on my alarm clock - oooops! So I ended up with less than half an hour to get a run in - no chance I would be able to get that distance in with the time I had! It was tempting to roll over and snooze for another half an hour but reminding myself that I'd regret it later I dragged my lazy backside out of bed and pulled on my kit to head out into the freezing morning air. I think the combination of being very cold, very tired and very late led to the obvious decision to do a speed run. Recently I've been trying to get the distance in (apart from when I'm messing about on the treadmill playing my silly mind games!), so I thought I'd take the opportunity to mix things up abit. When you're trying to go as fast as possible it always helps to go at times when there are loads of teenagers milling about who have the potential to mock you so it was perfect then that I managed to time my run with the entire teenage community heading into school for the day! The result of this was a quick 5k at sub 8 min speed and even time for a cup of tea when I got back - every cloud and all that! Maybe I'll have to oversleep more often :)
