Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Mornings

My half marathon training schedule has three days in a row of runs: Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I have done the runs early in the morning this week, and actually loved it. Here is my morning routine:

5:27am: Wake up, roll over, see the clock, groan (it doesn't matter how late I stay up...I can't seem to sleep past 5:30).

5:27-5:55am: Dink around on my phone.

5:55-6:15am: Get ready for my run.

6:15-6:30am: Call my mom.

6:30-7:05am: Run.

7:05-7:20am: Stretch, do strength training, lay on the grass and look at the sky. Think about my dad (though really that is all the time).

The great thing about early morning runs is the sunrise.

And the sun rays.
