my friend carolee goes running once a week (fridays) at 6 in the morning with some of her friends from church. she invited me to come with them, so i finally went this past friday. i didnt think i could get myself to do it, but i woke up at 530 friday morning to go to the bathroom. then i noticed a lot of lights on in the house, only to find tucker awake and dressed and ready (shoes and baseball hat included) hiding under a blanket by ryan's side of the bed. ryan had been out of town for a week, so he was planning on taking friday off for work to spend time with us. he told tucker we were going to go fishing, so tucker was just a WEE bit too excited. after i got him back in bed, i was wide awake. my mental process went something like this.. "i should go running with them since im already awake...wait, im awake at 530 in the morning...its time to go back to sleep...ill be happier if i sleep more... ill be happier if i workout before ryan wakes up though, because he wont want me to go to the gym on his day off...i wonder if i can feed mackenzie before i go... alright, i can do this, i can do this." so i hurried, threw on my running capris and a long-sleeved tshirt, grabbed some animal crackers, and ran out the door. i was so proud of myself that a. i went in the dark and in the cold, b. that i went WHEN it was still dark! if anyone knows me... im a sleeper. i need my sleep. but it was totally worth it. i had fun with carolee! the other 2 girls were way ahead of us, and carolee probably would have been up with them, had i not been there. im still pretty dang slow at this point when it comes to long distances. i am in better shape though then after i had tucker. i remember not being able to run a mile straight for a long time after tucker, and on friday, we ran 4! so im pretty excited about that. not to mention, it was great to run outside! i haven't ran outside since last fall. its been too long crisp, fresh, nonrecycled, nonsweaty smelling air... too long. : )
