Total Distance

4.00

4 TM miles this morning at home. It was my first time running early on the TM at home while the kids were asleep. I started about 6:15 am and heard no complaints after we woke them at 7, so I call that a success. It helps that we're all noise sleepers. We all need some kind of white noise to sleep peacefully: fan, white noise app on iPod, humidifier, etc. My wife comes from a long line of white noise sleepers. When her family goes anywhere, they bring along a collection of fans. One sister in law brings her 30" square box fan every where she goes. It's hilarious.

Score one for white noise. My early morning TM run was a success.

I was trying to work out what you were going on about (white noise etc). Then I thought, he's not all there, he's raving bonkers; (I'm right about that.) Curiosity got the better of me, so I googled white noise app... I think I must be living in some sort of parallel universe.

How did cave men get to sleep? Do you think if they had iPads, they would of had a Wooly mammoth app? I bet they wouldn't have fancied a saber tooth tiger app.

Bam, you're spot on about being raving bonkers. Not sure about cave men. I'm guessing they slept well with all the dinosaur roaring going on in the background. Maybe they kept a few small one as pets just for the noise?
