Got to have a nice easy base run.  Ran my riverbottoms 10k route.  Took 50 min.I have been turning on the alarm clock to get more time to do a workout and I think my body is finally getting use to getting up earlier.

Lifted before I ran. 

In my work I have been trying to get employees to agree to a wellness plan where everyone has to go get a health screening or risk assessment. It has been interesting to watch the politics of "you can't tell me what to do with my health . . . . but I want you to pay for my health problems."

Getting up early for workouts seems so normal to many on the blog. But I find it so hard for me to do. But it does allow for more training time.

We had a meeting once with all town employees. And someone suggested the single people and married couples should pay more money so the employees with larger families could pay less. Believe me that idea did not go over very well.

I am generally a morning person. But have I not been able to whip this daylight savings change.

I would imagine the single people would not be in favor. However, In our district we only pay a little more for family rates than single rates. (And that was only implimented last year) So in a way, single people have been paying more (since families did not have to pay more) than the families with dependants. Messing with people's insurance is emotional.
