Being 7 hours ahead of the US, this means the late night football games start at 3:30am. My Baltimore Ravens (defending Super Bowl Champs) were playing the first game of the NFL season this past Friday. Now I won't set an alarm to get up that early, the boys woke me up around 5:30. Thanks to a delay due to stormy weather, the game was well into the second quarter. I had more than enough time to watch the game.
The boys and I watched until halftime (watching Dallas Clark drop and easy catch that would have turned into a touchdown) and then the Ravens kicking a field goal to take a 17-14 lead at the half. We turned the game off and planned on going back after about 15 minutes.
My wife said, if you want to go running, now is a good time. I had to make a choice. Get out for my run or stay and watch the second half the game. When I lived in the US, it was easy, I could take my radio and listen to the game on my run. I do not have a fancy smartphone, so I could not take the game with me and it is not on here on the regular radio.
I decided to miss the second half and head out for a run. I could always read the summary, check the box score and watch highlights. The Ravens of course lost 49-24 with Peyton Manning throwing SEVEN touchdowns.
It felt good getting my run done in the morning. I had the entire day without worrying about getting out there. Sometimes, running needs to be a priority over other things and sometimes other things take a priority over running.
