What an interesting and odd little morning! I'm hoping that the rest of the day is a little more straightforward. Nothing major, but not my usual morning. Firsts things first, when the alarm clock went off at 4AM, my brain was like, "oh heck no!" I was up a little late last night recording and uploading one of my Podcasts to the website. So I made a quick attempt at sleeping in, when by good fortune my wife's cold and gentle snoring was enough to get me out of bed. I kind of get this guilty feeling every time I try to sleep in, so any little thing will keep me from falling back to sleep.
So I made it out the door, where it is a chilly 15oF this AM - yikes! When I got to the gym, I noticed that something was off. I couldn't place it at first, but then I realized - no music. Now, I usually listen to my headphones while at the gym, but when I walk in and out, they are out of my ears. I really wasn't missing anything because I knew that I would have Pandora in my ears for the morning, but it just seemed odd. And then I hop up on to the treadmill, and low and behold, no TVs either. What's more - no WiFi. Basically an electronics meltdown at WOW! this morning, but the good news was that the cell service worked, as did the treadmills, and I still got in a great run.
With about one mile left on the treadmill, in comes a pretty good sized dude wearing exactly the same outfit as me. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, black shorts and a red shirt are fairly common, but when he rolled right up next to me, we looked like kind-of-silly little twins. Probably nobody noticed, and it did seem that the early morning gym faithful were the only folks in the gym this morning, so no worries - whew!
So I got the run in. The legs feel pretty good even after this weekend's longer run, and I'm super psyched that I didn't sleep in. They'll be time for that come the weekend - yeah long flight out to Cali!
