Early Morning Run

I made it out for an early morning run. I did not hear Jake's alarm go off at 5 but I heard the baby fussing at 5:30. Thankfully I woke up feeling not very tired. It's amazing how sometimes you wake up and feel terrible and other times it is no big deal. I think it must have to do with where you are in the sleep cycle.
Anyway I was out the door a little before 6. It was still dark and the grass was wet. I walk across a lot of grass, that happens to be rather tall right now, to get to my starting point. My feet were quite wet before I even got started. I couldn't find my light up arm band. Hence I was a little nervous about my section of the run that I have to do on the road. It had been a long time since I had run in the dark. Two winters ago I ran in the dark all the time. Since then I haven't been out in the dark at all.
Well the run went well. I ran the whole thing and felt really good. After I got back I felt nauseous. Early morning runs on an empty stomach aren't ideal. The worst part is my little ones woke up shortly after I returned, Ethan, than Caleb, then Daniel. I was hoping for a little more time to myself. At least to get a shower, sigh. It is a mixed blessing cause at least we will get an extra early start on school.

Good job! I commend you for the run in the dark. I probably would have turned around and went back in and it would have been a bust!. :)
