Today I succeeded in getting up at six (thanks to my friend calling me and waking me up, then talking to me for a few minutes so I didn’t go back to bed). I ate a granola bar for breakfast and then set out on my three mile run. (feat my new running shoes!!)
The whole first half mile of my run I sang my own version of “If You’re Happy and You Know It” that went like “If you’d rather be in bed and you know it, clap your hands. If you’d rather be in bed and you know it, clap your hands. If you’d rather be in bed and your pace will surely show it, if you’d rather be in bed, clap your hands”.
It was a really good morning to run, it was in the 60′s and was cloudy. A cow came and said hello to me while I was stretching and I saw quite a few deer while I ran.
I did really good mentally on this run. I have a really tough hill I have to run up when I run anything past 1.25 miles on my road. (I have a pretty tough hill before this hill, but the second one is much, much worse) so while I ran up it, I told myself to stay in control of my mind and to stay ahead of myself to keep myself from fading mentally.
All in all, a good run this morning. :)
