Who in their right mind gets up earlier than they need to? If you can plan your day so that you get up within say 30 mins before you need to go, that's Mecca right there, surely?
Yeah, so that said - I've gotten up real early in the last two days. Why? Sorta been asking myself that question too but two things spring to mind. One, there is something quite good about knowing you are ahead of your targets for the day. For example, I need to be in the office for 9am but getting up earlier than normal means that I'm not stressed about being on time, actually I'm more free knowing that I can casually get ready, taking my time, maybe one day taking longer than another to do whatever it is I'll do in the morning without watching or dressing about the time. Secondly, and I e touched on this already somewhat is stress relief. Yeah, I really think it relieves stress. You have more quite time before and after you head off to work, you're not rushing and if anything you're more aware of what you can do in the day ahead.
Anyway, so that's that. I ordered a pair of ESS ICE-3 NARO ballistics eyewear yesterday which are the standard type that the British Military use. I've always been after a good pair of sunglasses but never got them. Either the styling is wrong, they fall off or just aren't up to the rigours of day-to-day life.
These are as robust, practical and efficient eyewear. I like the universal style they present and am looking to double up the usage for running as well as normal in the sun usage. These have a head strap to keep them firmly on your face/head so appeals to me for when I'm running. They super clear and provide great visibility - good for spotting obstacles, cars and planning where to place your next stride.
Man, I feel like I've just sold two things : ESS ICE 3 NAROs and Getting up early.
Also pretty cool is that I've sucked RSS from both my garmin connect web page and development project's site to create content in my site which represents my last 10 runs according to Garmin, links to the run stats etc and a feed from my software projects which now provides a great way to pull these external sources if data into my site - I'm well pleased with that.
