Running Log

I Ran 34:44 Today. I went to bed early last night (for a night owl) and was woken up at 5:29am by the baby. I decided that after getting the baby back to sleep rather quickly that I should stay up and go for a run like all my mom running friends have been reccommending.
I have so been resisting morning runs because I am so not a morning person and often go to bed at 2am. Guess what? This run was AWESOME! It's been so bloody hot and humid, like August always is in the Midwest - and it was gloriously cool this morning. It was beautiful and peaceful too!
My first 10 minutes are usually the hardest and I often look at my watch 3 or 4 times those first 10 minutes even though I have a timer set & I didn't even feel like it this morning.
It was a wonderful run followed by coming home to my husband waiting at the door to go to work - he needed me home at 6:45am and I was back at 6:44am - we passed the baton and my kids slept for another 1.5 hours! What an additional incentive!
Okay you morning Mama Runners - You are Right! Running in the morning is Great! Now, can you come to my house at 5:30 am tomorrow and get me out of bed?
Happy Running!

If someone's heading to your house, then maybe then can get me up too! I can make my 6 a.m. runs. But 5 a.m. runs, yea that's a whole different story!
Morning workouts are the best...I try to convince myself of that when the alarm is going off, but so well worth it afterwards. I have gotten lazy since my son stopped nursing, but when he was nursing I would feed him around 5:30 then go workout. I kinda miss those early early mornings! I have no incentive for getting up now since both boys sleep in until 8- except for the workout! : )
