earlier today I almost talked myself out of my scheduled run due to a tender knee. Then I fell asleep on the sofa (something to do with really carp nights sleep for 3 nights in a row). So there I was watching TV thinking "I should have run" "I'm tired" "I have the tready I could still run, or do I get up early and run tomorrow?"
Then as you do 10:30 and I wander off to do my run of 30-40 mins 5R:2W steady pace. Started well doing 7.5km on the run and 4.5km walking. I started to think of doing the 7 sets for just over 40 mins and making the last set faster. Then set 4 and I notice a distinct wobble in my legs and that I'm clock watching and struggling with the pace. Time to call it quits. So I finish off at 2miles in 30:18 having done a 4 mins walking cool down.
Yes I'm pleased I did it as I would have been annoyed if I hadn't (specially as I have the tready now so no excuses) and I probably would have brooded and not slept well (again!) if I hadn't. But it wasn't as good as I had hoped for - but then don't they say you have 1 fab run 2 carp 2 normal or something like that?
Still it's done and now I can have a shower and collapse in bed.
Night folks ..... ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

certainly NO excuses for not running when you plan to
except of course
you might be too tired / injured
and then you must NOT go just 'cos you've spent money on the machine
