Exercise Early in the day

Good morning, beautiful start to the working week. I set my alarm clock a half hour early this morning. That extra half hour has allowed me to put on my running shoes and to get out and enjoy the cool of the early morning. Well I know what I am like, with summer around the corner, and the usual heat that comes with it, I have decided to change my exercise routine slightly. I will still go to the gym 3 times a week, but it is time to crank up the other stuff.

Why? For those of you who read the daily dose of motivational medicine e-zine will know I had a bout of tonsillitis that flattened me. I seem to have a nasty habit of going hell for leather then falling flat on my face and having to start over again. Well I thought I would struggle this morning. But after walking for about half a kilometre just to warm the body up I upped to a jogging pace and apart from my glutes complaining slightly, I completed the 2 kilometres easily and barely out of breath. THankfully I am not as unfit as I thought I was. So I will walk again tomorrow (not run) and then start running proper on Wednesday.

Life is good.

Busy day today, got a million things to do, so I shall speak to you later.
