Morning run number 1
Got up at about 7am this morning and had some cereal and a cup of coffee to try and wake up a bit, I’m really not used to early mornings - thats gotta change!
I decided rather than to over work myself as I’m still really aching from yesterday to see how far i could run in 12 minutes.
The result…. 1.2k
A bit disappointing but I’m pretty happy that I made it out to the field and got running!
I’ll get there =)

But you did it. Tomorrow run 1.3k and take it as a victory & a new PR to beat the next time…..and so on.
This is one of my favorite inspirational passages/quotes. Its an excerpt from a speech given by President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt at the Sorboone in Paris on April 23, 1910. History now refers to it as "The Man In The Arena".
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
