Last night, I planned to get a morning run in - why do I do that? I know there is no way I am getting up one second earlier than I have to. I am just not a morning person. And to go out in -20C winter in the early morning dark? So not going to happen. I have to stop setting myself up for failure. Instead I found out I can hit the snooze button 7 times before it stops working.
I will run when I get home this evening, and I will feel so much better because that is when my body WANTS to do it. I did a 35 minute power walk last night; I have told Son #1 he is permanently off dog-walking duty. That means I have no choice but to re-adopt the pattern from last summer - one training night, one walk night, with 2 long runs of some sort on the weekend. (I use the word run very loosely…).

I’m w/you, I hate getting up early. Working out after school is a better fit for my life, plus it keeps me from snacking so much in the afternoon.

LOL! Great stuff! Congrats on the snooze break through! And on taking back dog walking. You may think your running is something. I can only *run* about 150 meters before walking and gasping. And look! My feet barely leave the pavement! lolololololol… Delita
