When You Can’t Sleep, Run
Might as well, right?
At least that was my thought at 4:30 this morning.? My daughter woke me up around 3:30 and once that happened, well, I was just up.? I couldn’t go back to sleep no matter how hard I tried.? Sleep has not been coming easily to me lately and that makes me a very cranky momma.? Even worse is when I don’t sleep AND don’t run because I didn’t get any sleep.
Y’all.? It ain’t pretty.
Despite REALLY not wanting to do it, I got out of bed, got dressed, and ran.
And it was glorious.
All of that inspired me to do this:
Yep.? I did it again.? A straight run mile.? And faster than last week.? Huzzah!
Three miles total on a perfectly beautiful Arizona morning.? Do I regret waking up??? Nope.? Not a bit.
Do you ever find yourself running at weird hours?? Are you a late night or early morning runner like me?

I love running in the morning problem is I hate getting up. It truly is the most magical time of the day, full of new possibilities as the sun comes up. Its why I LOVE those Disney races too, nothing like watching the sun rise as you approach the castle.
Exactly! I think that’s why Disney early wake ups don’t bother me.
Good for you! Once the thought popped into your head I imagine it was hard to put it to rest so it’s a good thing you answered the call. I love being up early enough to watch the sunrise, it’s my favorite time of the day. GJ on the mile too. Rock on.
That was it exactly! I started thinking and well… Then I needed to start running!
I love early morning runs, but hate getting out of bed early. Living in Florida, that means I run at 6am all summer and around 9 or 10am in the winter. Awesome job and gorgeous pics!
It’s the only option when it’s so hot! I love the peace and quiet though.
Nice job! Those pictures are stunning! I hear ya on being cranky without sleep and running. Without running right now I’m pretty much going crazy so good night sleeps are pretty much my only hope lol
iPhones are pretty slick, eh? lol I hope you can get back to it soon!
Good for you. I woke up at 5 am and couldn’t go back to sleep and I just cried about my babies’ school year being over(again) instead of bring productive.
Gah, so been there at the end of pregnancy! It will get better soon. Like in 5 weeks.
Beautiful! I’m an early morning runner/gym goer too. Not always but more often than not. I love it when the world is “mine”. And then I go to bed at 8:30pm.
Yes- that! I stayed up too late tonight and I’ll regret it in the morning when I want to exercise early.
Never! Wow beautiful pictures. I would feel like a complete rebel running so early in the morning. Good on you!
LOL! Rebel— yep, that’s me. 😉
