The time adjustment

Life in Sydney, i think, revolves around traffic. Unless you work and live in the city, I reckon you'd practically be trapped in your own home if you dont have a car. Everything is so far away. Civilisation sometimes start 1km away from where you live.

At my workplace you can start early and leave early. or come late and work late. You practically work around the traffic. Its a better way to do because then you dont get stressed up unneccesarily. For me getting stuck in traffic on an upslope is my number one fear, imagine you see a whole field of red lights as you approach an uphill. How many hill starts would that be??

So avoid.

I would like to do the start early option. because At some point I want to join a running group that starts in the wee hours of the morning. The early start of a day is probably normal too, judging from teh number of early morning classes at fitness first. Pilates at 630?????

And the bridge run starts at 630 so I am trying to get my body clock adjusted for that, although I dont know how I will deal with the cold. I cannot be running in my usual adidas running T right?

So far its not hard to go to bed early. I dont know if its the cold or I am actually more tired than I care to admit but I wilt as early as 8 pm, especially after gym. I think i am stressed out by the driving. But I will still get up about 2 and then spend an hour awake before being able to sleep again.

So far the running is getting back on track. I shall not be ambitious trying to train for a full marathon in 50 days while trying to settle myself. But Sydney half marathon here i come!!!
