Why I run at 3 AM ( and Sometimes in My Dreams)

Welcome to “Run Between Meetings”—where the only thing faster than my pace is my calendar filling up.

Let’s be honest: I don’t run because I love it. I run because it’s the only time I’m not answering emails, dodging deadlines, or trying to remember if I already drank that coffee or just imagined it.

The Chaos Cardio Combo

My typical day:

  • Wake up at 3:00 AM
  • Run like I’m being chased by my to-do list
  • Shower, coffee, Zoom, repeat

Sometimes I even wear my running shoes to work. Not because I’m going for a run—just because I forgot to change.

Why I Keep Running

  • It’s cheaper than therapy
  • It’s the only time I’m not multitasking (unless you count dodging squirrels)
  • It reminds me I’m alive, even if my legs disagree

So if you’re a part-time runner with a full-time schedule and a sense of humor, you’re in the right place.

Let’s lace up and laugh through the madness.

Hi, I'm the human behind 'Run Between Meetings' — part-time runner, full-time meeting survivor, and certified coffee enthusiast. I lace up my sneakers between Zoom calls, chase miles like I chase deadlines, and believe a good run can fix almost anything (except maybe my overflowing inbox). This blog is where I share my chaotic attempts to balance cardio and career — with a side of sarcasm and a splash of espresso. Join me as I sprint through life one meeting (and mile) at a time.
