Rethinking My Morning Routine

morning exercise

I’ve been thinking again about my morning routine and ways to improve upon my currently relaxed weekday schedule.

Right now, my mornings consist of coming downstairs, making breakfast, and scrolling through email and social media with my coffee and bagel. Literature suggests this digital-first approach isn’t ideal, and I’m beginning to agree. However, I still need a dedicated time slot for these activities, as processing them too late in the day reduces their usefulness.

My Feet Hurt

race walking exercise

As I mentioned on Friday, I had cooked up a scheme to win a medal in a yearly race that I have not trained for nor had any real interest in prior to learning of it on Friday. And so yesterday, I got up at 5am, showered, and walked up town to register for the 5k America Walk at Good Neighbor Day.

I was understandably groggy in the dim light of 5am, and didn't make it out of the house until 5:45. The park where the race starts is in teh middle of town, so I really had to move to get there. I took my GPS with me and kept track of my pace, which was about 4.0 miles per hour. I arrived at the registration tent at 6am.
