Just do it!

Yea right. I wish it was that easy...Just do it. This morning I had such a hard time getting out of bed. I had to fight my bed, sheets and pillow. I guess part of the problem is that it's still so dark at 4:00 a.m.

I finally was able to get out of bed at 4:18! I mean, it took me 18 minutes to decide that I was going to go run.

See how dark it is at 4:38 a.m.?

Well, the struggle didn't end there. Once I got to the track, I had to talk myself into running. I thought to myself that as long as I walk (just for today) it would be okay. But somehow, I found the strength to start running. Boy was that first mile hard. My legs weren't moving! Somehow though I was able to run the 6 miles I was scheduled to run. Yay, I did it! Now I feel great. I'm glad I didn't give in.

After warming up, running, visiting, and cooling off it was time to go back home to get ready for work.

This is a picture of the clock in my car after my run this morning.

Still dark, even though is 6:00 a.m.

Just two more weeks for the Nike Human Race!
