I gotta
say, today has been surprisingly good. I wasn’t sure how it would turn out
since I opted to do my running before work at 7am instead of after work and I
am NOT a morning person.
Well,
maybe I’m becoming one. The last couple of weekends I’ve regretted waking up
for a bit then falling back to sleep. I end up having crazy dreams. I’ve talked
to a few friends about this and they have the same issue. So, I think I need to
get up or at least stay awake on the weekends now that I have this newfound
energy. Which brings me to that topic…
Newfound
energy.
How
weird is this? This running and eating better is making me feel better and have
all sorts of energy. I’ve felt this way before but I really don’t remember it
feeling this good. My brain is surprised by it all. My body is surprised by it
all. I’m going to bed some nights not even tired. Strange stuff.
So, to
top off my morning of getting up early and running, today was my first official
day of half marathon training. I’ve mentioned this before but it’s good that it
worked out this way because I’ll still have an extra week (it’s 13 weeks till
the race but the training plan calls for 12 weeks) in case I need to repeat any
days or a week. Today was a 3-miler and it went well. I didn’t hate the
treadmill either. I wonder if it was because I wasn’t fully awake enough to
have those kind of feelings yet. I hate to admit it but I guess that’s another
good reason to run before work. Damn. I thought this might not have to become a
habit. Well, it’s only 2 days per week when my hubby goes with me. So that will
be Tue and Thu and on Wed I’ll go after work myself. On the weekends, I’ll
either run outside or go to the gym but I’ll play it by ear.
Me, a
morning person? Hmmm… we shall see.
