Ok, it wasn’t exactly 4am and it wasn’t exactly awake, but
by 4:30am I had my running shoes on and I was out the door.

| This is me running.. at 4:30am |
I warmed up with 200 skips, a block of walking lunges and 2
blocks of side shuffles. Then I ran. I ran in intervals, walk/jog/run. I did
this until my legs burned and my throat was sore. Sadly it was only 28 minutes
before I called game on the work out and when home to stretch.
Now interestingly enough, during my cool down I was
light-headed and dizzy; completely uncomfortable. I thought this was a mistake
and I would never do it again BUT once I was showered, dressed and moving
around I started to appreciate the time I had.
This was the first weekday morning in years that I didn’t
rush, I had time to hear all about Thomas’s dreams, I had time to eat MY
breakfast. I even had time to read with the boys before loading up.
There was
nothing frantic or stressful. There was no anxiety, because we had time.
It was also nice to see Richard in the morning; to get a
proper send-off and a nice hug. It’s amazing how that can help.
Today feels different.
