Yesterday morning I realized that when I left the gym around 5:45 it was sunny. A little light bulb went off in my head. The sun is now rising early enough for me to run outdoors in the morning. So this morning I woke up at my normal 4am and headed to the gym where I did 20 min bike, leg and some ab weight training. I then left the gym, came home and immediately started to run around the neighborhood. I have to figure out the exact mileage. I did it before for our family walk, but today I added in a few cul-de-sacs and of course the GPS on my phone wasn't strong enough to record. But I ended up running 35 minutes, with a few short spurts of walking. I didn't realize how hilly the area was until I was running.
So I'm really excited about this new routine. I've been hating having to run on the treadmill. I also love that I'm getting fresh air and it's so peaceful. I saw one person the whole run. All I heard were the birds chirping. Such a great way to start the day.
