<p>So....</p>
<p>I'm really struggling lately with getting my lazy ass out of bed in the mornings on time to get my runs in before work and other stuff.  This, despite 2 alarm clocks and one alarm phone.  (*sigh*).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyone up for a some assistance in the form of "open your eyes, put your feet on the floor and get moving" calls/texts?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I know that once I get back on track, I'll be fine....but getting off of holiday sleep/wake schedule and on to super early sleep/wake schedule again seems to be harder this year.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>I would NEVER, EVER wake someone with a "get your feet on the floor".  That's how my dad used to wake me up.  I HATED IT!!!  Yah, I guess I still need therapy for that.</p>

<p>MoCo will do it.</p>

<p>Sign up for another Ironman.  It will give you a little motivation to get up and get those feet on the floor.  <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>

<p>I agree that a race on the calendar is a great motivator to get up but that doesn't have to be an Iron Man!  LOL<br>

<p>Mwaha! Mwahahaha!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>MoCo is teh awesome at this.  I love/hate her for it.</p>

<p>I read somewhere,  that the hardest part is just getting out of bed... once that happens your body will start to adapt to waking up then.  </p>

<p>I've got a race on the books....but it's WAY out there.</p>
<p>MCM:  October.  Must be base building for sure right now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've got the Bay Swim in June, closer, but not running.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Maybe I do need to find a late spring "something" to do.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>GA Half marathon is too close...I think.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And, yes....</p>
<p>getting out of bed is half the battle.</p>
<p>I've even started keeping the house a degree or two warmer at night in the hopes that if it's warmer in the morning, it won't be so painful to get up.</p>

 

[SpartyGirl]

<p>Stitch - what time in the AM?  I'm up early 5 days a week...<span><img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span>Oh and as of right now I'm planning on limping through the half in March - we can limp together!</span></p>

<p>since college I have always placed my alarm AWAY from my bed. I HAVE to get my ass out of bed for fear of waking the wife (BAD) or kids (BAD) so it's pure fear that drives me up and out!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, since kids are kind of a pain, and I don't think you'd be into getting a wife... (although if so, please send pics!)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So maybe just move the alarm?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>AND have Em call you and harass you?</p>
<p> </p>

<p>ha ha ha ha ha ha</p>

<p>Kids take to long to bake, and they are a lifetime committment....true.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Moving the alarm.....good idea.</p>
<p>Having Em harrass me..... also a good idea.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Making me laugh out loud before bed tonight....</p>
<p>GREAT GREAT GREAT.</p>

<p>Stitch - I have to open the gym I run at 5am most mornings.  That means up at 4am.  Moving your alarm across the room is very helpful...providing the alarm wakes you up in the first place!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

 

[jenotter]

<p>I'm up early, but Pacific time, so that won't help ya (unless you want the phone call or text at like 8am).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I agree that the clock on the other side of the room helps.</p>

 

[Stitcher]

<p>Yeah...pac time won't help much.  lol</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Luckily, one alarm is battery operated, so no need to worry about power cords.</p>
<p>Will be moving it tonight.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Got up ok today, thinking it was Monday, and was ** this close to getting in the shower at 6:30 only to realize it was Sunday, not Monday.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>I vote MoCo.. she has to start swimming early in the AM, too.. Plus I can have the whole bed for an hour or so.. </p>
