Blessing #140: Early morning runs

Finally I did it.  For the 2nd time this entire school year I got out of bed at 5 and went on a run.  I've spent a lot of time this year thinking about running and not nearly as much actually moving my body.

There are so many side effects of pre-work exercise:  my metabolism burns faster all day; I don't worry about fitting in exercise the entire rest of the day; I feel calmer most of the day; I have more energy the entire day; I suddenly feel free to do whatever I want to after school.
