Day in the Life: 1 - Running

Recently someone told me I should do a “day in the life” story. It makes me feel so awkward, but here is where it all starts.

I wake up between 5:15 and 6am everyday. Before you’re like “I could never do that” know that I have always been a morning person. It freaks me out to stay up past 11pm.

I run 6 days a week. Today I ran for 75 minutes. It was raining and running in the rain is MY FAVOURITE. No joke. I love it.

I have run 10 full marathons (42.2km!) and one of those was an ultra marathon of 50km.

Fave songs that get me going every damn time:
Santigold “Who I Thought You Were” & “Go!”
Yeah Yeah Yeahs “Tick” and “Rich”
Most of Vince Staples work and Princess Nokia forever and ever.

I love being awake before the sun, it is sometimes a bit scary to be the only one out there with my little bike light clipped to my running belt, but I usually only run into a few night critters and they’re generally just doing their own thing. Except for the time I ran into a cougar while running, but that is a story for another time. That’s it for now.
