Back to the Basics

How is it that I can't find time to come home and go for my runs, but I definitely find time for my trash t.v. ? All day long I think, "I will go home, change clothes and hit the pavement." When I get home, get the kids unloaded, that is the last thing that happens. I go straight from Mom to employee and employee to Mom in about a ten minute span, to and from work. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely would not change either of these things for anything, but sometimes I choose the trash t.v. instead of running.

A couple weeks back I was getting up in the morning, religiously, to run. The weather was absolutely perfect at 6:00 am in Silver Ranch. There is no way on God's green earth that I could run when I get home in the 99 degree weather, right?!?! Someone throw me a bone! Or, should I suck it up and "take the heat?" Oh, the decisions I am faced with. Wait, there is another option, back to the morning runs. That's it!

So, let's say three mornings a week I will get up 40 minutes early, run, cool down, drink a whole lot of water and THEN get my day started. I think it sounds like a good plan but I will also remember the fact that I LOVE my sleep too. I reserve the right to call in tired from time to time when the running alarm goes off. Hopefully I will just get in such a great rhythm this won't be an issue.

OK, I'm giving it a shot starting tomorrow morning.

Runners, take your mark (or is it marks?).....

Toodles!
