5:00 a.m. alarm goes off. Snooze. 5:07 alarm goes off. Snooze. 5:10 I lazily get out of bed to beat the 5:11 alarm because wifey is starting to make “get the heck out of bed or turn it off” noises, a sound that runners who share beds might be all too familiar with.
By the time I get my things together and head out the door it’s closer to 5:30 which gives me less than an hour to get into San Francisco during the morning commute. As you can tell by the title, I did not show up on time to November Project. But I still showed up for some sweaty hugs, a workout — even if it was a partial one — and some morning coffee with Breakfast Club (the coffee-after-party).
As you can see from the photos (photo credit NPSF), fun is had at November Project and even though I don’t make it out there as regularly as I would like, I always have a good time when I go. It’s a long drive for a 30-minute workout, but it’s about MORE than the workout with NP. It’s about the community. It’s about cheering on each other, friends, strangers, guy walking the dog.
If you want to read more about today’s workout, check out the November Project SF blog, and find out where the tribe will be racing this weekend.
Also, rumor has it that I’ll try to show up on time on Friday for some hills at Glen Canyon.

It’s only 24 seconds, worth a watch.

Do you have trouble with those early-morning alarms?
100% agree! Been there, done that!! 😊
These workouts always look so fun!!! I wish I had a group in my hood!
Most mornings I actually get out of bed really easily when the alarm goes off at 5am…but occasionally…not so much!
Totally agree.. as long as you make an effort to do something.. it doesn’t matter if it is only 2 minutes! :)

I’m awful at the early morning stuff UNLESS I’m meeting someone. Good job getting out there for at least part of it. (Here, I procrastinated so long, I only had time to run 4 miles, but at least I did that.)
I go through phases, sometimes I’m really good at getting up and going up, others I turn the alarm off and go back to sleep. Lately it’s been the later cause I haven’t been feeling well. I definitely feel better about myself when I get up and get it done.
