benefits of getting up and out at 6:45 am
Wednesday, February 21, 2007 at 4:24PM : seeing a squirrel snacking out of a garbage can
: seeing the sunrise reflected on the Williamsburg Savings Bank facade
: finding sheet ice on my usual path, and discovering a new one
: realizing that i've already made progress, and can run 25 min nonstop, not bad for starting out 2.5 weeks ago and only going 5 minutes. (I'm sure the temp rise had nothing to do with it)
: getting home at my normal wake-up time and having tons of energy
: just plain feeling good ;)
: realizing just how many things will have to change in the next few months to actually pull off a marathon in November. so many habits like bedtimes and food consumption (or lack thereof), backup from M, some weekends, every trip, etc ...
: coming home and having husband who agrees to said 'backups' and doesn't complain at having had a screaming baby for 30 minutes of my time out. admittedly his brain was too foggy to figure out that it was indeed time for Fynn to get up, and thaw a bottle ... we learn :)

just ordered this and am contemplating this though I'm finding it cheaper on ebay.

i think i'm actually serious about this whole thing. feels good to my bones.

i'm really happy for you. i hope you can enjoy your running as much as possible. what better way to immerse yourself in your body and in the present, than to be absolutely miserable, running in the bitter cold...am i wrong? help me understand this pleasure.. :)
keep us posted.
Kudos to you! I won't be joining you in your running, even long distance. Maybe "chusco" and I can come watch you race if I can get a cheap ticket.
