It's 9 am and everyone is still sleeping!!

I hate getting in the habit of not doing things...like running this week. I knew last night I was not going to feel like going this morning so I was making deals with myself left and right. I put all my gear out on the couch so I wouldn't have the excuse I could not find something. If it was any colder than minus 25, I wasn't going outside, I would get on the treadmill....I checked the weather this morning and it was "only" minus 22. Interesting how perspectives change!! Felt like running the bridges this morning so I drove to the Roastery and started from there. JP had said do not do more than 30 minutes just to get back into the groove. So I did 30 minutes and 12 seconds!! It felt really good and I did not see my HR get up over about 140. Felt like I could have ran forever. Nice and easy and slow...perrrfect. Got back to the Roastery and grabbed a coffee...as this was one of my deals to myself, a small reward for getting up and out there. Saw GP and Bruce who politely asked me to join them, but I have learned to not intrude on a couple of buddies. So got home and everyone is still asleep as I enjoy my coffee and read the news and write on this blog. A good start to a Saturday!!

You weren't intruding. We talk about nothing!! You would have brought the level of conversation up a whole lot!!
