The kids are at their first day of school today. It's only a half day. I think they plan it this way just to tease the parents. My oldest will be home by 11am. Does that even really count as a day of school?
I completely hate my morning routine with the kids in school. I have one in middle school and one in his last year of elementary school. My oldest leaves the house at 6:20 am. The other one is still sound asleep until 7:30. That's a good chunk of time that last year I didn't know what to do with. Still tired myself, I usually plopped down in front of the TV. Seemed like a waste of time. I'd rather be sleeping, but once I'm up out of bed there is no sleep to be found for me. So I tried something new today.
Since I'm getting back into shape I decided to try and utilize that hour in a better way. I was on the treadmill by 6:30 and stayed on until 7:30. Didn't matter to me how far I ran or walked, just as long as my legs were moving for an hour. Today I did 4.5 miles. I hope as my body remembers what it is like to be a triathlete, that it will turn into a 6-7 mile run most mornings. That will ultimately be a warm up. For today 4.5 miles was plenty.
