Warning: I tried to start a 5am running habit and my neighbor's sprinkler had other plans
Last Monday I set my alarm for 5am to finally start running before work, laid out my shorts and shoes the night before like a real athlete, and felt weirdly proud of myself. I made it about two blocks before my neighbor's sprinkler system came on full blast and soaked me from the knees down. I stood there dripping on the corner of Maple and 3rd at 5:12am while a guy walking his pug just stared at me. I walked home, changed, and ended up jogging around my kitchen while my coffee brewed instead. Does anyone else have a starting-a-habit story that went sideways in the first ten minutes?
