So after two weeks, two things have become clear. I still suck at housework and getting up at 4:45AM still sucks.
However, I do have to admit that getting up this morning was just a tad easier than it has been the past two weeks. Now it may have something to do with the fact that I picked up a new pair of VFF Treks yesterday and was extremely eager to take them out for a spin.
I also think that I am slowly adjusting to the early wake up call. I actually turned off the television last night at 10:45 anticipating the morning run.
The run? It was fabulous. The weather app on my phone said it felt like 27°. I put on my shorts, slipped into the new Treks and I was off. My toes stayed toasty warm for the whole run, which does not happen with my regular VFF KSO’s. 7.7 miles in the pre-dawn darkness in just under an hour and I loved every minute of it. I understand now why Pigtailsflying runs when she runs.
As for the cleaning? Well, 2 weeks in I still suck at it, but Operation De-Clutter is moving ahead – slooooooowly, but ahead. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll have this house in order by Spring.
Run Luau Run 
Sounds like it was a great run. I’ve run very few morning runs (just not a morning person, in the least) yet every one I’ve done has been great. I can’t get motivated to do it, but I would love to get in that habit. In the summer, though I love the early evening runs, just as it’s getting dark. That is definitely my favorite time to run. Oh, and it’s better to be good at running than good at housework!
My wife might argue with you on that last comment… 🙂
I’m not a morning person either, but I seem to be taking to it….slowly.
I like running in the morning and then being able to say, “Hey, look what I did!” (even if only to myself.) The alternative is to go through your day knowing you _might_ run later in the day if you don’t wus out.
So the Trek’s were nice, huh? What keeps the toes warmer?
I’ve heard the toes are more flexible in the Treks too. True?
Enjoying the blog!
Thanks Bob! It may be the slightly thicker sole, but I think it’s the leather top…it just keeps the heat in. I hadn’t noticed the toe flexibility, but I will check that out on my next run.
