Hello! How’s it going? Over here it’s going good. But I woke up at 3:30am. THREE THIRTY A.M. What the heck? Darn time change. Vegas woke up with me. I waited for the sun to come up so I could run.
The weather is perfect for running – cool, misty mornings. I’m not running a lot right now though. Since I just started with my running coach we’re slowly beginning to incorporate varying my paces and don’t want to just add that to my usual mileage (that might cause an injury). I ran 5 miles today at an easy pace. I also have a half marathon coming up, so he wants me to take it easy because of that too.
Post-run breakfast was cereal and eggs.
And the rest of my day was filled with a lot of Spark and iced coffee. Since I was awake so early I started to hit a major slump before lunch!
What I do when I wake up at 3:30am for no reason:
- Wait for the sun to come up so I can go run.
- Go run.
- Eat breakfast earlier than usual. Actually, eat all meals and snacks earlier than usual.
- Drink tons of Spark.
- Consider taking a nap.
- Complain on social media that I’ve been up since 3:30am.
Luckily, Spark always gives me a perfect boost of energy. I’m completely obsessed with this stuff and sip it everyday. For some reason I don’t drink coffee past breakfast time so I switch out my beverage of choice to this.
(I’m an Advo Distributor and I really do use this stuff daily and recommend it to all my non-internet friends too. Email me if you have questions.)
I saw a lot of super inspiring runners on the news after this weekend’s New York City Marathon and Wine and Dine Half Marathon. Here are a few articles on some very impressive marathon finishers from this year:
