body snatcher
I am exhausted. The work, the illness, too little sleep, too tight a schedule. And yet - I get up in the morning before 5 am, I sleepwalk through teethbrushing, coffee, and dressing. The night is still dark, the snow still frozen, people are asleep. I am stepping out to run.
Who is this person?
I don't even like running. The best part is when it's over.
Anyhow. I have races ahead, miles to conquer. Arizona, here I come.

You must like something about running, or else why would you still be doing it? Maybe the attraction is that feeling you have when it's over - accomplishment, tiredness, toughness, reaching a goal...
Is that a nightmare or a fatal attraction?
well done on getting out. I think I have the same relationship with running ... it's the post run I live for
Good luck on your race Lia! I know you will do great and finish strong. Your body does amazing things when it knows it's in race mode.
Good luck Lia!
I can relate to sleepwalking through the morning preparations. I'm not an early morning person, and yet I have to get up way before my body wants to.
If you keep running, you may start to like it - seriously! The sign that you are starting to like it is when you skip a run and you feel like you need to get back out there. Are you there yet? Good luck, runner! :)
Hope your race went well. Too bad it was FREEZING here today.
I like running a whole lot more when it is warm out. I've decided I would rather run when it is 100 in the morning in July than 30 like today.
i SO understand your comments.
what a great post
