Opportunity cost

Mom, the economist, taught us long ago the meaning of opportunity cost - and it's something I think about all the time!

This morning, when my alarm went off shortly before 5 a.m., I quickly weighed the costs of getting up to run vs. the costs of sleeping for another hour. At that moment, sleep won out.

Later came the cost: running in the hot afternoon sun.
I did a comfortable 4 miles, hitting a golf-course drinking fountain about halfway.
 My first after-work run of the 2013-2014 school year :)
