A Running Night Owl?

I saw the funniest thing on my Nike+ page today....

Excuse the funny image...

They classify me as a night owl.

What?! Me? A night owl?! You got to be kidding! I am so a morning person. I get up before the sun to run, go to work, be a mom, and barely stay awake until 9:30 pm when I go to bed. I am not a stay-up-late and party run night owl!

But then when I got to thinking about it, the definition is all a matter of perspective. I am not running when the sun is rising. I am not running in the middle of the day. I am running when it is dark (67% of the time) and I guess by their definition, that makes me a night owl....or at least an early morning owl. And on that note, I often do see owls flying by on my drive to the gym in the mornings.

With all that being said and done, I crawled out of bed this morning (note, I didn't say night) at 3:45 am and headed off to the gym. I wasn't sure how much I was going to run today but I had to do at least an hour's worth. My left leg is being pesky and I wanted to ensure my mileage goal wasn't overriding me running smart. I ended up running 7 easy miles and then devoted a good chunk of time to stretching and you know what, my leg is feeling better already!

And check out my #PROOF for the day....see how dark it was when I started? And I couldn't resist taking a photo of the sunrise as I headed into work.
