// 20th June
Yesterday morning I thought I had a brilliant idea. Get up twenty minutes earlier than usual, and go for a run. (With the idea that eventually the energy gained from daily exercise negates the pain of getting up earlier, and then some).
By yesterday afternoon I was pretty sure it was a stupid idea. By last night I was pretty sure it was a stupid idea, and there was no way I was going to do it. I set my alarm twenty minutes earlier anyway, figuring I could hit the snooze button and/or throw my phone under my bed.
Amazingly when my alarm went off I was surprisingly calm about the situation. So I got up and went for it. When I got outside I realised there was a few parts of the plan that hadn’t been very well thought out. First, there was no way I was going to stretch because that would require standing still and it was freezing. Note to self; next time, stretch in bed while in the process of waking up. Second, I am fitter than I thought and twenty minutes was very easy. With no barriers to push I got bored very quickly. It’s unlikely I can be bothered to get up any earlier, but will twenty minutes suffice? I’ll take my iPod next time. Third, I was running on a completely empty stomach. While this meant I was less likely to get a stitch, it also meant I felt like vomiting before I’d started spreading fish guts on my toast. A helpful hint - it doesn’t matter how thirsty you think you are, don’t drink the glass of milk until after you’ve eaten the first piece of toast. This also gave me a headache, in a good way. Except that I’ve still got it eight hours later.
So far, I’d call it a success. But will it be this easy tomorrow? Unlikely.

Milk and fish? No wonder you felt like vomiting.
How about you substitute the glass of milk with water? Or juice?

You sound like you made a good start, keep it up and I am looking forward to tomorrows post to see if you made it past the second attempt.
