This is going to be my last post for now about ways in which I want to change my life style – yes, I just realized that’s what I’m doing with all my plans. I simply can’t squeeze more into my weekly schedule and I guess it’s not that interesting to you anyway.

I’m going to take up running. At least four days a week, probably from monday till thursday. It’s no secret that I could stand to lose a little weight but that’s actually not my primary motivation. Inspired by this post on this blog which I recently stumbled upon, I want to energize my mornings by getting up early around 6 am and run. At least I want to try it because I’ve been so freaking tired in the mornings last year. It made it hard to stay awake during lectures, and hard in general to get anything done the first one or two hours at school. By running I want to change this, and according to the before mentioned post it should also boost my energy level and thereby my productivity the rest of the day. A downside is that I have to be in bed early too which doesn’t suit my nature well. But I reckon around 11 pm will be fine, giving me seven hours of sleep.

The first day of this experiment will be monday September 1st and the route will be 1 km (planned on http://www.iform.dk/polopoly.jsp?d=1756&a=10447, please enlighten me if you know better sites for that). Laugh all you want but be aware that I’ve never willingly excercised before and I have to start somewhere. After two weeks – that is 8 days of running – I’m going to add another km and so forth. If I’m not able to run all of the distance in two weeks I’ll instead add another week to the same distance.

This is my plan to energize my mornings and, as stated in my previous post, hopefully I’ll make it, keep it up and eventually grow to like running.
