On waking up early

3:30 in the morning and the only thought in my mind is how good it feels to lay in bed. Then I begin to wonder how long I can enjoy this before my alarm goes off, which leads to the thought "the earlier I wake up, the longer I can run" and I am up. I pause on the way out the door for coffee and a piece of toast.
As it turns out, my body didn't want to run, but my mind did. This is a curious reversal of the norm...how many times have our bodies wanted things our mind refuses. Fortunately my mind won. I managed 6 miles before the snow started...Yea snowing again. It has been coming down all day but is only now starting to stick. I was going to give a presentation at a local weight loss group, but too many people have canceled because of the weather, so we will try again next week. I really enjoy public speaking, apparently it is more feared than death by most people. How bizarre
The moral of the story: you need to keep your job and sleep...and run.
I have this coming weekend off, planning to run till i drop...WISH ME LUCK!
