      HITTING THE PAVEMENT

      It’s 6 a.m. The sun is just rising. A big part of you wants to crawl back into bed.

      But you don’t. Instead, you lace up your running shoes, throw on a hoodie, and head outside. The air is cool and damp. No one else is around. After a few quick stretches, you start your morning run. Within minutes, your heart is pumping. You feel energized. Thoughts of going back to bed fade away.

      A quick check of your smart watch tells you that you’re coming up on one mile. You’ve got four to go. Thump, thump, thump. The sound of your shoes against the pavement settles into a smooth rhythm. You’re in the zone now.

      For the next hour, it’s just you and the road. You’ll still have time to get home, shower, and be ready for school. Then it’s off to practice, a little weight training, then home for homework and bed.

      It doesn’t leave you a lot of time for doing anything else. Your friends are out having a great time, while you’re spending every free moment working on being in the best shape possible.
