Early Mornings

Ok so it has been about 3 days since I started this blog and I am already behind! I've got to get it together!!

Tuesday - Tuesday morning 5:00 happened way to fast. I was not ready to get out of bed at all. Maybe it would have been easier if I had not forgotten my house keys at work last night (not realizing this until I was nicely tucked into a parking spot) only to find that when I drove back to the office building I was working at, the outside door was locked. After 20 minutes of waiting and calling everyone to tell them (knowing there was nothing they could do) someone walked out of the building and I managed to get in, but I did get home about 2 hours after I left work the first time. Ok back to running......Luckily I am meeting Michelle so I subdue my urges to hit the snooze and drag myself out of bed. Once I get outside, I forget that I was tired and start get pumped for the run. Shelli and I are running 10.5 miles around the Charles, the standard Tuesday morning run. The run was going good, but it was dark and icey so extra caution was needed. Even with all the ice and snow and trail constuction I managed to only take one tumble and my gloves took the brunt of the fall. I think my legs were still a little tired from 18 miles on Sunday. I was glad though to get the longer run over on Tuesday.

Thursday - This morning was easy morning. I met Michelle at the bottom of the hill again. I swear if it were not for meeting Michelle, I would never be able to drag myself out of bed in the morning to run, even though as soon as I actually physically get out of bed I feel good to go. I'm just too good at hitting the snooze. Today we met at 5:30 and we did a short 6.7 mile run around the river haha. It still sounds funny to have the short day be almost 7 miles and it did really feel short when we were running! We were done in just over an hour! Now I just have a nice long day of work to look forward to.
