Well, it is Monday. The day that I set a goal to begin my schedule which includes running in the morning. Before I go into detail of how this morning turned out I need to re-cap yesterday afternoon. Being Sunday I usually have a leisurely day but instead I started off right with two separate call-ins for work. All fine and good but it gets me moving earlier than I had planned. After that I decided to go workout. I spent an hour and a half doing drills and bag work. Got a good sweat and figured out a few things I had been imagining. This all put me back at my house by around 1:00 P.M. at which time I got to hang out with my daughter while my wife went for a walk with our oldest dog Beatrix. Upon her arrival I committed to a comfortable, casual shower where I did some meditation and stretching. Afterward I promptly took a nap from 4-7. That really got me energized for the remainder of the day, despite having only planned to nap for one hour.
For the rest of the day I did some work on a few music projects I had been putting off, did some work on KOTR (love that game!!) and read a little. All in all it was a productive evening. I finished with a good stretch out before sleeping at 2:00 A.M. right on schedule.
And then Monday came. I am happy to report that not only did I get up just a little after 4:00A.M. but that I was able to go for a run. It was only for about ten minutes but it was a straight ten without stopping to walk. I then had enough time to stretch out and prepare for work. I even had enough time to do a brief meditation before leaving. I did arrive at work a little later that I wanted but I still was there before 6:30 and before anyone else had arrived. I am very happy with the day so far. However, I must be cautious not to let this slight triumph distract me from the continuing goal. This was only a small step in the right direction. I am more optimistic than every.
