<p>Get 5:15-5:30ish to get out of the house close to 5:45 ... roughly 45 minutes for 5 miles then a stroll around the block to cool down [I don't count that, BTW]. If I wake up late, though, and don't hit the road until 6:00, I aim for 3 miles then start negotiating:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"Well, D'Kid has gym today, so you don't need to iron her uniform = ten minutes saved = one more mile"</p>
<p>"D'Kid has hot lunch today so you don't need to pack one = ten minutes saved = one more mile"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You get the idea ...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Back in the house; check the FB, check the email, log in VRAA points [the scoring site is blocked at work]. D'Kid's alarm goes off at 7:00; we're at the bus stop at 7:45</p>
