Pre-Sunrise Run Today!

I didn’t make it to the gym yesterday. I made up for it by working out this morning! That’s 4am to be precise.

I woke up at 3:30am. I drank some water and ate a bowl of Kashi Go Lean Crunch with skim milk. I was on the road by 4am.

I wasn’t sure what to expect. I don’t remember the last time I ran so early in the morning. I didn’t have a choice, however, since I missed my workout last night and I knew the post-work meetings would make a workout this afternoon questionable.

I started out slowly. My intention was to do a slow run and to be mindful of how my body was responding to the new workout time.

The run felt great. I ran for about 39 minutes. It was a very slow run and I think I covered about 3.3 miles. I went back to my house and into the basement to follow up the run with 20 minutes on my stationary bike and some sit-ups.

After the workout I drank some more water and ate a banana. And now I”m on the train and on my way to work.!

With 5 hours of sleep the morning workout felt good. More sleep would be helpful though.
I caught the 6:34am train instead of the usual 5:50am. If I hadn’t done the stationary bike and I had shaved the night before then I could have kept my regular 5:50am train schedule.

Now, as I write on the train, I feel the need for coffee! Assuming I get a good cup of coffee once I get downtown, today should be a great day!
