It's not always easy getting up at 4:25 AM to get in a run before work.
I'm out the door, on the street with the dog by 5:00.
This morning I found myself standing in the middle of the street with my dog Rocket thinking, "What am I doing? I'm tired and I really don't feel like doing this."
So I look at Rocket to see if he really wanted to run.
This voice comes flooding into my head and overpowers all of those other voices.
"DON'T THINK - JUST RUN"
"It's cold."
"DON'T THINK - JUST RUN"
My feet start moving.
"You're sore."
"DON'T THINK - JUST RUN"
"Run tomorrow."
"DON'T THINK - JUST RUN"
"Just run one mile."
"DON'T THINK - JUST RUN"
"Ok… that's one mile, turn around and make it two miles"
"SCREW 2 MILES"
"SCREW 3 MILES"
"RUN 4 MILES"
And that's how the morning went.
All of that before 6:00AM, while most people were still sleeping.
I Ran Today.
