I actually really love saturday morning runs. Once I overcome the horrible realization that I’m voluntarily waking up at 6am on a saturday to run, it’s a glorious experience. Being awake and running while the rest of the world is still sleeping peacefully is rather neat. Then of course you have the benefit of the sun not being up to assult you yet either.
Our 6 mile training run went surprisingly well. It wasn’t too too painful and despite waking up feeling dehydrated, I didn’t get any cramps or yucky tastes in my mouth. Since it was a TNT run, we had water stops all through the course, which is also a huge plus. Yummy gatorade.
This upcoming weekend we’re supposed to run 8 miles, but I have our yard sale which is in Orlando, so I don’t know when I’m going to be running. Probably Sunday night, but that’s not really an ideal time to run 8 miles.
After the run I came home, ate breakfast and then had a glorious glorious nap. I think this is the other primary reason why I love saturday morning runs… being able to crawl back into bed exhausted but having earned the nap.

do you ever run during the day? the yard sale is over at 1 so you’d have the whole afternoon to get in some mileage though I know running outside sucks. what about treadmills? i could let you into the gym at my complex so you could run the 8 miles?
