Righteous Run

I got up this morning and ran at 6 am. Do you know what time 6 am? It's before the sun comes up! Proof? Here's the sunrise from the park.

 

I got a massage this afternoon, and that was awesome, so I guess that's my reward for exercising.

 

The thing about running in the morning is that it's just enough exercise to make you make good choices through the day. You can't run far enough that you want to go all out and eat a whole cheesecake (I ran 4 miles), but it's far enough that you don't want to undo your hard work with a candy bar so maybe you have an apple instead.

 

Also, because I was up before ANYONE else, including my husband and the dog, I get to feel superior all day long! Look at what I sacrifice for health. Also, I already exercised today, so it's not hanging over my head!

 

I saw three other people by the time I left the park, but I was already heading home and they were just getting started.

 

So Early Morning Run = I Am Awesome!
