So I've really been missing my runners high and have been dabbling with some at home workouts lately for the convenience of morning workouts. This week however, I had a small revelation.
I actually looked out the window before pushing play and was able to see the street! This meant that the sun was now up when I was! This opened up the door for morning runs!
So this morning I strapped on my brooks and headed out the door for a refreshing run in the 55 degree weather. It was so much better! I even believe I witnessed a glimpse of my mojo on this run. Here is a short list of the reasons why:
1. Down here in TX, morning temps are way more accommodating for a runner (especially one who sweats at the mere mention of a workout, it can get ugly ya'll)
2. No one is out there to
3. It is peaceful. Even with my headphones on, I could here the birds signing the entire time! (even the doberman pinscher on the loose today was peaceful, whew! I had my pepper spray ready just in case.)
4. I like working out first thing in the morning and since running burns more calories than my JM workout...I'm able to indulge a little more for breakfast. (hello, grape nuts with sugar and coffee with creamer!)
5. It's just better.
I will continue to try and roll my sleepy butt out of bed for these early morning runs because I truly do feel 100% better. I may even try taking this guy with me next time!
One in a Million,
Jaimie
