So one of my friends wrote a blog post about a ay in the life of a DC intern. I liked the idea just to show how mental I am, and probably all runners, this will show you why I dont run full marathons. I need to sleep somewhere.
I get up every morning between 4:20 and 4:40, when ever my alarm wins. Get dressed, get to the gym at 5:00 or leave for an out door run (if you where wondering I run Mondays, Tuesday, Thursdays and Saturday, Wendnesday and Friday are cross training and one may be a day off if my alarm losses and I win) On running days I run anywhere between 5-7 miles depending on if its at the gym or on the roads. On cross training days I do the elyptical for 45 min and lift.
I get home and stretch do abbs and hit the showers at 6:10 is. Get ready. Have breakfast at 7:10. Leave the house, feed the rabbit a treat or let him out, at 7:20. Arrive at the train station at 7:25ish. Buy my ticket walk the many flights of stairs cross the long, way to high, bridge, go down many fligths of stairs, walk to the very end of the platform cross to the center platform, why they cant board on the opposite side of the train I still dont know, walk to the middle of the plat form. Arrive at about 7:38 just in time to see the train approach. Im not kidding it really takes almost a full 15 minutes from entering the parking lot to get on the train plat form- my only complaints about the train. Read a good book or play suduko on my way to work.
Arive at work at 8:25, yes a good four hours after waking up- half a work day. Turn on my computer read email messages and dive into work. At 11:30 I have lunch and read scriptures. Work some more. At 4:20 I head to the train. Im a funny creature here. I walk down to the gateway and seeing how I feel I either cross to the arena trax station or walk to the planitarium station but sometimes I decide to walk to full mile to train. Weather, shoes and mood dependant. Catch the train, read a book and get home at 5:40.
When I get home I unwind from the day. Have dinner and depending on the day I got to church meetings or activities, craft, watch TV, Omega or hang out. Around 10ish I do the whole bed time routine: scriptures, abbs, pack lunch, etc. around 11ish I retire to my bed.
So you see that is a crazy day in the life of Kendra. If I where to run a full marathon workouts would have to double and then I would get a mear 4ish hours of sleep. Maybe I should give it a try who really needs one more hour of sleep. Oh waite waking up at 3:30 is pure insanity.

Your life sounds totally crazy. Good for you for putting up with it. At least you can turn your alarm clock off if the day requires it. Cambrie doesn't work like that :)
