I do run, I'm just not religiously devoted to it as some other people I know are. It really is refreshing, and it is worth it as long as you time it correctly and don't overwork yourself. As long as I do a run that I can handle pretty easily, then it is definitely worth waking up a bit earlier. I really hope my comment on scaring my cats wasn't misinterpreted (and I'm just terrible at social relations) but I didn't mean to imply that I scared my cats on purpose, I just meant I'll fumble around my house and drop things and my cats are subjected to the loud noises. It's hilarious how much of a not-morning person I am, running has really helped with waking me up and keeping me up throughout the day too.
It might be worth it, but how do I convice tired me that it is? Maybe I should take my SO on a surprise run tomorrow, that will make her day and I get to see if it's worth it or not. I didn't really think you scared your cats for fun in the morning, being clear about when I'm joking and not isn't my strong side if you ask my SO..
Well that's embarrassing, heh. Perhaps your sense of humor was too refined for my unappreciative, immature taste? Yeah, our tired alternate selves always seem to be getting in our ways, huh? Well, good luck getting her to run anyways. I remember the only motivation for me to start running for the first time was my new mindset: the stereotypical "New Year, New Me" phenomenon every New Years. If it hadn't been that external motivation, I'd never have started. I actually legitimately lost where I was going with that, perhaps you should wait until New Years? Or design a time machine? Or that if she's anything like me, it's gonna take a lot to get her started? Regardless, it's almost 6:00AM where I am so I feel justified in leaving it at that, and good luck! :)
Well yes, that is probably how it is. :) I'm pretty sure she would love it if I told her I would like us to run as a morning routine. My tired self doesn't care what I promise and I don't want to disappoint her, my tired self is going to try extra hard tomorrow. Thanks for the inspiration!
