Good Morning

Good morning friends.  It is 8am and I have been awake for an hour and a half....for those of you who are special, I have been awake since 6:30.  When I got back from LA Mark said that he wanted to start getting up early to go running.  We have both agreed that we have gained too much weight in our first year of marriage and needed to take charge.  So since I came home to bare cupboards and an empty fridge I decided that more fruits and veggies would take priority on my shopping trip.  -But I am getting sidetracked.  Mark wanted to start getting up early to go running.  So on Tuesday  morning he set the alarm for 6:30.  As the annoying beeping has gone off twice (him having hit the snooze once already) I proceeded to shake him awake.  He rolled over said, "Too tired" and fell back asleep.  I wasn't about to complain seeing as I was still exhausted from my trip home and didn't sleep very well that night anyway.

So yesterday night we agree to go to bed earlier so that we will be able to get up earlier and go for that run.  So at 6:30 this morning the alarm goes off again.  This time we are both awake.  As I am listening to the downpour of rain outside our window, I know there is not chance that Mark is gonna want to run it that, which he confirms a few minutes later.  (Can't blame him, it was literally pouring, and has been raining for like 2 weeks straight).  Anyhow, I still feel guilty that we have attempted to get up and run 2 times and it hasn't happened yet.  But I justify that we shouldn't run in the rain cuz we will probably get sick.  Since I was sick for pretty much all of April, I didn't want to chance it.

I am the type of person that once I have made the attempt to wake up, I am up and can't fall back to sleep.  Mark could fall asleep just about anywhere if he was tired or not.  So that is why it is 8am and I have been awake for so long.  It does make me feel good though to be up this early and to have eaten breakfast already.  Makes me feel like I am already being more productive that usual.
All for now.  Will write about LA trip next post.
