mornings.


Mornings around here have become my favorite part of the day.  I usually wake up between 5:30 and 6:00 to work out before work.  It's hard waking up for it at first, but I like being done with my workout by the time I would normally be waking up for work around 8.  For instance, this morning I ran three mile, got coffee and went to the dentist - all before 7.

Waking up early allows me to experience things I normally wouldn't.  These pictures, for instance, were taken over the course of two morning runs this week.  I would never get to see the sunrise if it wasn't for my morning workouts.

Of course, waking up this early means that people know not to call me after 10:30 at night during the week.  Just because i'm an athlete doesn't mean I don't need my beauty sleep!

What is your favorite part of the day? xo

  1. i love the moment when sun rises, the leaves are still wet of condensation and the birds are chirping. all happen peacefully in a silent tranquil morning. and i hold a cup of coffee in my hand while watching it from my window. in that moment, nothing's wrong with the world.

    love this post!

  3. I always feel so accomplished when I wake up early. I wish I could will my body to do it more often!

  4. I'm more of a sunrise girl, rather than a sunset one... always have been.
