Whoever said this was a good thing was obviously a night owl. It’s never a good thing. I have about an hour from the time I get home from work till the time it gets dark. Thankfully I don’t get off at 5, so this still leaves me time to get in a good run – but still. I need lots of good ol’ Vitamin D to function and in winter, I just don’t get enough of it. I’m even thinking about waking up a little earlier and squeezing in a morning run before I shower and get ready for work. Because I have to say mornings are crisp and beautiful this time of year, as much as I hate it.
My mom said to me last night “You’ll probably wake up earlier because of the time change and now that it’s so light early in the morning.” Well, she was right…like always. I woke up an hour before my alarm this morning. So I figure if I start this morning exercise routine now, it won’t give me time to get used to the adjusted time change. Besides a little extra exercise never hurt anyone, and after the weekend full of junk food I just had, I definitely feel like I need it!
As much as I hate this time of year, it is great for sunsets. We have some amazing sunsets here on the coast. Here are some past photos….
