It's Dark Here!
I got up this morning when my alarm went off at 6:30 anticipating a lovely morning run.
Instead, I looked outside and it appeared to be more of dusk than morning.
Grumpy, I woke E, pointed to the window and said, "It's dark here." He grunted and rolled over.
I stumbled into the kitchen and stood there contemplating making coffee, which I don't ordinarily need to do before my short runs.
But, this was my first AM run since the AM runs in Alaska. So, I guess it would make sense that I'd recognize the decrease in light.
And then I looked at the clock on the oven.
5:30 AM.
My foggy morning brain slowly processed the implications, ahhh... that's why it's so dark. Looks like I managed to set my clock ahead by one hour while setting my alarm last night.
So, I went back to sleep and enjoyed another 3 hours before waking up to the bright blue sky.
No AM run today. But at least I know it'll be less dark when I do find the motivation to head out in the morning next time.

Going back to sleep would not have been an option if you had dogs. You'd be running in the dark. :)
I would be in better shape if I had dogs. No doubt about it!
Wake up early, enjoy all the day, sleep a lot - this is the idea of visiting Alaska :) it's a great trip !
Yeah I do agree with you. Its brilliant way of getting up early and enjoying all day. Alaska is great place for visiting. I hope that you will also enjoy there.
