I’ve been waking up in the worst mood lately. I’m a real bear in the morning. I feel bad for my kids because sometimes, they bear the brunt of it.
But I realized something the other day. When I get a chance to go on a run after all the kids are in school, I feel great. It totally wipes out my bad mood and replaces it with a true sense of well being. Really — it’s like a drug. It might even be better than a drug.
What I wish I could do is get up before the kids are out of bed and get my run in first thing, so I’m in my happy place by the time they wake up. Unfortunately my husband has to be at the work at the crack, so I would have to drag myself out of bed at 5:45. It might actually be worth it though. I know my kids would appreciate it!
