Is this crazy?

[Rochey]

Honestly, getting up around 4:00 is just normal for me now.  It's taken my body a couple of years to adjust, but now I start waking up around 4:00 regardless of what time I have to actually get up.  The flip side is that by 9:00p, I'm done.  Last night I told everyone else in the house that i didn't care what time they went to bed, but I was going to sleep and to leave me alone.  I think that was around 8:40.    The 6-year-old came in to get "kissies" and I'm not even sure she brushed her teeth before bed.

I am a morning person so it's not the early hour that would get to me - it's running 20 miles before a full day of work.  I could do it as a one off thing, but I would fully expect to not be particularly productive that day.

I actually think that I'm way more focused after a 20 miler...I have more energy in the middle of the night, anyway, which let's face it, 3am is....a long run before work always made/makes me feel downright high...

I'd want to stay up to run at that time, rather than getting up that early.  I kind of hate mornings and wish I could work a later set of hours so I could sleep late every day.

But add me to Team Nap After Long Runs.  And since I normally run after work, my body tends to want to go to sleep a few hours after EVERY workout.  I ran before work a few weeks ago (only an hour) and I nearly face planted at my desk by late morning.

Not crazy at all. Nope. I would do this and we all know I'm not crazy.

And neither am I.

Agreed. I've done 20-22 milers before work numerous times, though never starting before 4:30-4:45...........slacker compared to MoS's people!
