I got up at 5 this morning with the express purpose of going for a run. I think I’m going to start getting up early and running from now on. The time just before sun rise is my favorite time of the day. Everything is nice and peaceful, and nothing has happened yet so you have the opportunity to decide to have a good day or not. So where does that leave my lifting? Well, I’ll just lift in the afternoons or during my lunch break at work, of course, if I join a gym, I may need to re-visit the when I lift question. That’s a story for another day though.
I like the idea of running in the mornings because I hate when I run out of time and can’t go run because I was sitting there staring at a MySQL database schema that’s kicking my ass. I think it was Squeezin who was talking about getting up early and running and I like the idea of getting it out of the way and starting off the day properly. Anyway, I felt good this morning, no pain anywhere. I was also breaking in new shoes, so that may have had something to do with it. Here are the stats:
Stats:
Distance: Approx. 3.5 miles
Time: 34:22 minutes
Terrain: Cement sidewalk
Course: loop around the block, up the street, to the school, past the fire station and back.
Noteworthy: No pain anywhere, great running weather this morning, no dogs, hardly any cars. A great run that’s making me want to get up early and run everyday.
Good on ya for getting up at the butt crack O’ dawn…wish I could do that!
Yeah… me too! Well I’m glad someone is able to follow through on my idea anyway.
