today, i'm up early to run. tuesday evenings are full -- prayer service at the dharma center -- so if i want to run today, i had to get moving before work.
this is incredibly hard for me. i like to sleep. a lot. like, more than is healthly, i think. AND we just got a new NASA memory foam bed, which is the nicest sleep EVAR. so when my alarm went off at 5:30am, i just groaned.
somehow i forced the cat off my legs and slid out of bed. the cold water splashing on my face helped get me going, and i was out the door at 6:30. unfortunately, high school football training just got started yesterday, so i was denied track time. i went down to Old Overton to run, which is actually very pleasant, just not distance-marked like a track. i did my best to guesstimate distances based on my time, and got a good workout in.
[note: running by the river on Old Overton is the BEST. once i get past the need to alternate running and walking based on distance, i plan on running by the river as much as possible...]
i have to get used to waking up early and running, as i've got three more obligations in the evening this week, leaving me no time to run after work. chalk this up to another "i guess i'm an old fart now" decision, as i'll probably be in bed by, like, 8:30pm tonight so i can wake up and run. all my old drinking buddies should pour a little on the ground for this converted hommie.
am i the same nick that i used to be??!?
time: 19:24
distance: approx 2 miles (Walk/Run alternating)
