(18 october) This was such a good day. Our train arrived in at 5.30am, a good hour early which was weird. I'd had a proper 8 hours sleep though and was feeling alright, but most people were shattered and hadn't slept well. I took the opportunity of it being still quite cool outside when we arrived to go for a run! Yes, at 6am lol. I'm missing exercise so much though, think that's why I'm getting so tired recently!
