Set a goal to wake up at 6:20 a.m. every day and run from 6:30-7:30 a.m. before my day gets away from me.   As the sun continues to rise earlier and I feel the need to lengthen my runs, I will wake up earlier.  But for now, its the perfect time to run because its just starting to get light and the sun comes up while I'm running.  Also, if I leave at 6:30 everyone else in the house is still asleep so it is a peaceful way to start my run.  This morning when I got home the kids were awake, happy as clams, just playing in the girls' room.  I woke Aaron up and told him it was his turn to run.  I really love the fact that my 5 yo gets my 1 yo out of her crib and the kids play happily together in the mornings.  Morning is the best time of day!

Morning runs are so nice - less traffic, air quality is better - peaceful. My favorite leg of Ragnar was the middle of the night run.

slipping out in to the darkness when all the world is asleep and coming home with hours on your hands to get the rest of day on track, a big treat. Enjoy the day, hopefully it remains peaceful!!

That sounds like a great morning plan. And it's wonderful when your kids take care of each other. That's the big pay off for having more than one kid.

You can get ready to run in 10 minutes? It takes me that long to sit on the toilet. Oh yeah, you just go wherever.
