Sunday MORNING 6/5 - I

20 Minutes
Move-in workout

I did something I'd never done before, I got up early and went running in the morning!! Crazy. Well, it wasn't really that early- I woke up at 9:30 because I didn't have to be at church till 11. Still, normally on Sundays at home I'll roll out of bed at 10:30. But I knew I had to go running in the morning because I didn't go yesterday even though I really wanted to. Last night we went to an Indian Restaurant ( I LOVE Indian food), and we ate a lot and didn't get back till late. I felt bad because it had been a couple days since I'd gone running.

I thought about going on my mom's exercise bike at like midnight, when I finally felt like I'd digested dinner. But I wasn't sure how loud the bike was and I didn't want to wake everyone up, including our German house-guests who were flying out the next day.

So that's why I went running in the morning. It was a strange feeling, since normally I go running at 8 or 9 pm. It was surprisingly hot at 9:30. There was also a surprising amount of people out (I keep forgetting the real world doesn't operate on college time). It felt weird going basically straight from sleeping to running. But it felt good! I felt very productive when I went to church already having accomplished something in the morning.

I probably won't go running in the morning again though, because I just really don't like getting up any earlier than I have to. I could feel myself losing energy around 1 pm. We were at a going away party for a family I babysit for. I was sitting on a bed reading a Little Einsteins book to a couple kids. One of them, a four-year-old, was really sleepy, and he eventually flopped over and took a little nap while I was reading. While the rest of the kids were choosing the next book, I flopped over too and took a one minute power nap. Then I read the kids The Very Hungry Caterpillar. They should make a book called The Very Sleepy College Student. Instant classic right there.
