I need more sleep, so my solution is to get up earlier for a morning run. If I can somehow establish this schedule (i.e., I’m normally not a morning runner), there will be no need to go out for any late evening runs that take me one to two hours to cool-down from. Consequently, my hypothesis is that I will get more quality sleep under this morning-run schedule. However, this means early to bed and insanely early to rise. Anyway, for this morning’s workout the roads were covered with snow which was still coming down. I ran an even 4.0 miles up to the Smith-Kiln Chimney then halfway around the Brickyard Shopping Plaza and back. The pace was slow going (8:43 minutes-per-mile). I’m hoping to pick it up a little bit on the treadmill after work.
Following a busy day at work, I realized I had to get to the library to return some books. However, I was not going to put off my running in order to go on a late evening run; therefore, when I got off the bus downtown I jog over to the library then over to the other side of town. In total, I got in 2.6 miles at a slow place (but I had a 30-15lbs backpack on).
For my daily non-running workout, I completed 300 sit-ups, 30 push-ups, and three 90-second wall-sit (I’m going to try to get in three wall sits throughout the day; that is, they are a nice break from work).
