I am a morning runner...
You know, early bird gets the worm...
Get the workout out of the way first thing so the rest of the day has meaning...
Well, Sunday I slept in. Hey, I am human occasionally.
Then I had stuff to do so I didn't have time to get in my morning run.
(Side note: I went with a girlfriend (Hi SZ) to look for wedding dresses. Usually this can be quite a daunting task. Well, let me tell ya - this girl knew what she wanted. We walked in, she tried on a handful and BAM - Done. Signed on the dotted line. It wasn't too difficult because every dress looked amazing on her. It was flippin' awesome. ) Also I went to the movies, saw "Love Guru." It was goofy, but a nice air conditioned theater was a good escape from the crazy heat.
By the time I got home, I was feeling really discombobulated from missing my morning run. So what the heck - I laced up my sneakers and hit the boardwalk. It was about 7:30 pm and still scorching hot. I had a fantastic run without Big G. I think I ran about 5.5 or 6 miles, was totally drenched in sweat and happy as a clam.
Here's the problem. I get home around 8:30 pm, take a quick shower and watch a little lame TV. Next thing I know it's 10:30 pm (past my bedtime) and I am NOT tired AT ALL. I force myself to go to bed, but I lay there tossing and turning. Finally at 1:00 am, I get up and take a half a sleeping pill. (Trust me, I am hating myself this morning.)
Running gives me such awesome energy. Which I ADORE in the morning, but not so good in the evenings. Anyone else have this problem?
