<p>I get up between 4:15 - 4:30 most work days.  Then I either get my workout done or do work stuffs until the kids come down for breakfast at 6:30.  Then I hang with the kids til 7:00 and to my workout if I didn't get it done, or shower.  It takes me between 30 - 60 minutes to shower and get ready, depending on if I have to look decent for court.  Since I went out on my own last year, I'm only accountable to myself, so rolling in to the office at 9:00 or 9:30 is ok.  If I worked for someone, I'd have to get up even earlier!</p>

<p><br><strong>Alexis</strong> - on the days when I run longer in the mornings I'm not out until somewhere betw 6-6:30 a.m. but I don't need to be at the office until 9:15-9:30 and I take about 30+ mins to get ready (note: many times that means damp hair in a ponytail or bun and minimal make-up)</p>

<p>hahahahaha, same here!   Also happens to my sis (the nurse out in San Fran), I don't know whether to be thankful that my co-workers don't comment on my tired-looking self or to be sad that they've just grown accustomed to that being the norm for me. <br>

<p><strong>Duck</strong> - I never get enough sleep when I wake up pre-work to run simply b/c I'm a night owl and I can't seem to get myself in bed before 11 pm on most nights.<br>

<p><strong>Maria</strong> - I know you've answered this before but I can't recall the answer.  When you do your run home from work or to yoga and back, how do you manage your stuff? You run with a backpack?  Cuz I had to run a couple block the other day when I got caught in the hail on the walk to work and my backpack was bouncing all over the place.</p>

Yep, I run with a small backpack - whatever doesn't fit in gets left at the office until the next day I'm not running home.   The one I use is actually a larger sized CamelBak model and I just took the bladder out, there are extra straps to pull that sucker in tight and keep it close to my back & straps that go around both my chest and waist.   This is about the size of mine (minus the mud)</p>
