Saturday morning ...

I woke up at 5:30 ... having been awake with Matthew through the night, he still gets very itchy, he wanted a band aid then a wash cloth ... and so it goes ... I am unfortunately used to this routine.

I thought to myself this morning when my peepers opened, "self ... you should go run" ... and for the 1st time in quite long time, I didn't debate it in my head ... "well, you are tired and you can sleep more" ... blah blah blah ... I just got up and I even took the beast with me.

We have one of those waist leashes ... which I had yet to use, Caloy likes it a lot ... but he is also the person who takes Savanah out most often ... so I thought I'd try it ... and it was cool. It was great to be hands free.

I ran a small loop around my development ... 1.6 miles said my nike-ipod-thingy ... We have a nice creek that runs along the east side right near Cty Rd. 1. The sun was coming up right over Union Res and the water was shimmering gold ... I was listening to Rock With You by MJ, enjoying my run, (and music) ... and over my head flew TWO HUGE BALD EAGLES! They were amazing. I stopped and watched them soar towards the lake ... phenomenal.

While I was almost home, I suddenly had the same poop dilemma that I often do while running ... if I could just get my body to cooperate before I leave the house ... but that rarely happens. I was debating if I could make it home and then I saw a port-a-potty near a new house that was being built. Gross, I know ... especially a pooper that is at for manly builders ... but shoot, when you gotta go, you gotta go. Savanah was crying while I was still attached to her and I went in and she stayed out. Hahaaaaa ... that had to look so funny.

Great morning ... I am glad I woke up early and got to see the sunrise. I can so easily spiral into thoughts like, "why don't you do this every morning ... " but I will not. I will enjoy this morning, two glorious bald eagles, a port-a-potty and a dog that ran along side of me attached to a leash that I didn't have to hold. Lord you are so good to me.

Gotta get ready for my weigh-in ...
