Remind me, why am I doing this??

I did it again...I set my alarm for 0600 and when it went off, I reset it for 0700 and spent the whole day dreading the fact that I have to run after work!! On my journey home from work, I even went through reasons not to run tonight but it wasn't raining and it wasn't that cold so I was struggling!
I got in from work at around 1930 and Tracey was on the phone to her Mum so I couldn't even stall by talking to her. I thought 'stuff it - I'm not getting out of it' so I just got changed and hit the road for tonight's 4 miler. The first 2 miles were fine, steady, but when I turned around to come back I was running in to a headwind which made life uncomfortable. It has its pros as well as it's cons though...I didn't have to try too hard to catch my breath as the wind was blowing it straight in to my lungs!!!
After a rest day tomorrow, I'll be running 9 miles on Saturday (instead of Sunday) and then 4 miles on Sunday.
I've had a few moments where I've been close to thinking if I miss the odd run here and there then it wont make too much of a difference - but then I just remind myself as to one of the reasons I'm doing this...to raise money for CLIC sargent. It's such a worthy cause so please please click on the 'sponsor me' section of my blog (www.thebigone2010.blogspot.com) and give what you can towards the £1,500 target.
