Morning running

Set my alarm clock this morning for 5am. Not being a morning person, there was a slim chance (but still a chance) that I would actually get up, and do my run before going to work. If I am going to train for The Chicago Marathon over the Summer, early morning runs are a must.

Alarm went off at 5am, hit the snooze button, 5:15 it went off again, hit the snooze button again, then at 5:30 somehow, still in a daze I got myself up, dressed, laced up my sneakers and was actually on the road running at 5:40.  For the first 5 minutes I honestly thought I was dreaming about running. 30 minutes and 3 miles later I was home, fully awake, and invigorated and that first cup of coffee never tasted so good.

It wasn't my best run,  but it absolutely was my best 5:30am run.

Can I do this again.....

  1. You only hit the snooze button twice? Not bad. So glad to hear you conquered the morning run, Maura.
