Plan B

Set the alarm for stupid o'clock so I could get in a 6 miler before work.

Dutifully got up when the alarm went off and checked the weather. 44 deg.

Hmmmm. So let me get this straight. It's dark, *and* early, *and* cold?!?!

Why is it exactly that I wanted to do this run in the morning? Seems a whole lot more sensible to run after work when it's not dark, not early, and not cold.

Plan B it is.

Back to bed. Ahhhhhh.

  5. I have had my alarm clock set for 6am for the last fortnight. I think i've only managed to get out of bed at that time twice. Every other monring i've made good use of the snooze function.

  7. "stupid o'clock", love that. It's getting harder and harder as it is darker and darker and colder and colder in the AM, I concur. Plan B it is!

  8. Note to those wondering about 44 deg this morning....I live in the high desert. It is not unusual for there to be a 30 deg difference between the low and high temp for the day. So while it was a BRISK 44 deg in the dark this morning, it will likely be mid 70s this afternoon and probably mid 60s when I get around to running in the early evening.

  11. I like "stupid o'clock." Sounds so much later than "O dark hundred."

  12. haha i like stupid o'clock too!
    I can't believe its 44 there. We are having an Indian summer right now, it must be at least 80 outside!

  13. I had that same sentiment this AM, once I walked outside and saw my readout displaying 65 degrees.

    Enjoy that plan B later today!!
