I work - sometimes a lot of hours. And the kind of work I do is not easy on my body - alot of standing in one spot on hard surfaces, or mopping, or scrubbing. A lot of things that Fibro hates. So i know if i leave my run until after my shift, I wont physically be able to do it. If i want to run, I have to run before i work. I dont have a choice. For some days, this means setting my alarm early enough that I am able to get up, get moving, run, shower, the whole nine yards before I have to be at work.
It isnt my favourite way to live - i love sleeping in as much as the next person. But it is something that i have to do so I do do it. I have also found that early in the morning, especially on weekends, there is much less trafic which means i can run on the lawns or road as i need to without interferance. And it is cooler - which I am guessing for the summer time is going to be a big things.
This of course, is because I ran saturday morning. Early enough the garage sales were still setting up and early enough that I did not want to be functional, let alone running.
I may never be the kind of runner who gets up at 5 am to go for a long run because i love it that much and it is the greatest start possible to my day. I may however become the kind that gets out on the road at 7:30 am because I know i need to and well...thats enough for me.
