You know, I need to stop this sleeping in stuff. I’ve been missing my morning runs and going out late at night and- dang it- my night runs are slower and lamer for so many reasons.
1. I have the opportunity to think about them all day and potentially skip them (but don’t worry, Team Supreme, I don’t skip!)
2. I miss out on that satisfaction of knowing I did a thing I planned on doing. Instead, I start off the day feeling like I’ve already failed.
3. It gets in the way of any evening plans I may have and, yes, sometimes I DO have them. Hard to believe.
4. It’s not very safe to run in the dark.
5. I totally slow down! I think it’s because of the dark thing- I get worried that I can’t see where I’m going. I think I’m tired from my day too.
6. I can’t wear super high heels to work if I’m going for a run after work because they give me “Barbie feet” (feet that want to be pointy and high heely all the time).
7. All day long the runners I see remind me that I didn’t run that morning and that I let myself down. Bummersville, USA.
Man- I gotta get to sleep! Tomorrow NO EXCUSES! Morning run or bust!
