Another Early One

I really really REALLY wanted to suck pillow this morning. I haven't been getting to bed early enough, that's the problem. But I felt so fantastic all day yesterday after my early morning, that I knew I had to do it again.

I awoke at 5, and battled with myself until 5:30, at which time I crawled out, cursing myself all the way. "Damn early morning running, stupid morning person, idiotic sun coming through the crack in my curtain..."

As soon as I was dressed for my run, however, I felt okay. I changed up my iPod playlist last night with some new music (I can't divulge the details because it's WAY too embarassing!) and so I was actually looking forward to getting out there and trying out some new music. And it was good! It really motivated me to run faster and longer.

I love the early morning start to the day. It makes me feel so fresh and alive and motivated. Even though it sometimes really hurts, dragging my butt out of my warm and cozy bed, I am ALWAYS glad that I did it afterwards. I just have to keep reminding myself of that. I never regret getting up early.
