Morning Productivity

In the past few weeks, or maybe a couple months, Robin and I have been struggling just a bit to get out of bed at a descent hour and get things done. So we decided that two mornings a week we would go for a short run right away and two mornings other mornings each week we would take advantage of our very nice and very close recreation center and go swimming. Today was the first day of implementing our plan. We went running.

I had not gone for a run in over a year. It felt awkward at first. And my legs got a little tired of the pounding at the end. But there were a few minutes in the middle where it felt great. And the rest of the day I felt quite good. Breakfast and coffee after the run were fantastic. Work was better than yesterday. And my afternoon bike ride was also good, though in the final hills my legs were feeling sluggish. All in all I am very happy with this new plan.

Tonight we are going to bbq. Tomorrow we have no plans other than to watch the first mountain stage of the Tour de France. We have found a way to watch it online for free, if this sounds good to you, go here, download the player, and look for the channel Versus. They air it four or five times a day, but the live one is in the morning.
