For The Love Of The Glow

I knew I had plenty of time to get a run in this morning before leaving for the airport at 6:30 so long as I was 100% packed the night before. I got in bed at 9PM last night and set the alarm for 5AM. I actually slept in my running clothes because I knew it would be a cold one!! Sports bra, long sleeve T, yoga pants + socks. Just added a fleece, shoes and gloves when I got up. I almost didn’t go because it was 39* and dark out there, but I knew I’d be glad that I did and boy was I right.

I had a GREAT RUN! Nice pace, lots of energy. I ran the 4.2 mile loop through our neighborhood.

SOOO glad I went. I’ve got that wonderful exercise feel. I’ve never regretted a workout….

It took me 29 minutes to shower, glam and head out the door. Not having breakfast and being all packed up really helps!

I was very sad to leave my computer 🙁 And Matt was gone by 3AM!

Check-in and security were a breeze today (go Charlotte!!) and I made a beeline to Jamba!!

Today I branched out and got the Mango + Peach. I lost a banana off the top at one point, but my is this good!!

I’ve only had a few bites and am super hungry, so I’m hanging up now to go finish eating!

Minneapolis, get ready for another KERF fly by!! I’m planning to get a coffee when I get there

:mrgreen: this !

    wow what an early morning you had! I’m impressed with everything you got done. Is it hard to leave Matt so often for these trips? I’m sure the weekends are fun, but I bet you miss your husband. We don’t have any jamba juices around here, but next time I fly, I’m totally looking for one!

    I love when there’s no security lines. It makes me feel so much calmer and relaxed. Every time I’ve almost missed a flight, [twice] I’ve gotten stuck in the security lines on layovers. I was literally running through the airport… hahaha.

    I’m a new reader but I gotta comment. I love morning workouts too, but your run in the dark shows an extreme and yes, unsafe fanatacism. You really don’t think you would have gotten any exercise in Minneapolis??? Please, with your exercise on most days taking 1.5 hours it seems to 2 hours (gym biking, even study walking ’cause you just CAN’T sit and study) I doubt you wouldn’t have done something to get your heart rate up in Minneapolis. Or **gasp** miss a day of exercise like any normal person.

    Well, I’m going to say three cheers for the morning run. I’m sure Kath is 100% able to defend her own choices, but, New Reader, sometimes there isn’t a better option, and running in the dark isn’t inherently unsafe. (I’ll assume we can all agree on the need for vigilance, reflective spots on your clothes, etc.)

    Travel, children, work, school are all very viable factors that make it tough to run at the optimal time. Sometimes, we have to use the time that’s available, no matter when it comes.

    Sleeping in my workout clothes for an early morning workout is absolutely key for me! It has saved me several times. If I turn over to go back to sleep and wake up later dressed for the gym when I can’t go anymore, I know that I’ll feel pretty sad, so it’s great motivation.

    Also, I’m definitely going to agree with Eileen on this one, running in the morning when it is dark out is a personal choice and not always unsafe. I live in NYC and don’t do it because I’m not comfortable; however, if someone knows his/her neighborhood and wants to run in the dark, go for it. You can take certain percautions (i.e., carrying a cell phone), but again, it’s a personal choice.

    I’m so excited! I’m halfway tempted to meet up for the run tomorrow but I’ve got too much to do after being sick last week 🙁 I’ll just run at the same time and act like I’m there!

    Sleeping in your exercise clothes…wow, that is a great tip! Sometimes it’s really difficult to get the motivation to get out of a warm, comfortable bed in the morning, so that makes it at least one step easier. I will have to share that. A lot of the participants at the residential facility where I work are constantly on the go, much like a lot of us these days, so this helps make the routine of exercising a little easier.

    O.M.G. Eileen- there is a better option- sleep, chill out. I understand having to squeeze exercise in when time is cramped- but Kath’s time is OBVIOUSLY not. She doesn’t have kids and her “work” allows her the luxury of amounts of free time as evident by the hours of time she can spend on exercise and play (no 9 to 6 like the rest of us). She exercises every day. Defending a run in pitch darkness is pretty evident of what I see on food blogs more and more- a freaky defense of “exercise at all costs” mentality.

      It’s funny how you assume you know Kath’s entire life situation just because you know only what she puts on the blog. If you don’t want to run in the dark that’s your personal choice. I’m pretty sure Kath is able to make her own decisions.

        November 8, 2009 at 4:45 pm

        I don’t think there is any reason to judge Kath’s free time – “work”, as you put it in quotation marks, can be defined in many ways. New Reader, if you’re unhappy with your 9 to 6 job, perhaps it’s time to look outside the box and redefine your own life. More power to you, Kath, for leading a fulfilling life that you love. Everyone else is just jealous 🙂 By the way, I also like running in the dark – I find it peaceful. I do, however, stick to populated areas, wear reflective clothing, and carry my cell phone.
