One of my dogs woke me up at 4:00am today, and i could not get back to sleep, so i decided to get my run in early. 4:20am. That is 1 1/2 hours earlier than my alarm is set for.
Nice and slow, I got 4 miles done in 48:08 minutes, with NO walking breaks today.!!
I tried to do strides, but i only managed 1 for 40 seconds at an 8:00 min pace, and was doubled over gasping. So my breathing is still undergoing recovery from my flu earlier this week. But an early run with 20 lunges afterwards felt great!
This blog is a journal about my journey from being an overweight 54 year old recreational runner through training and Finishing my first marathon in October 2012!

this is awesome. maybe you ought to try getting up this early a couple mornings a week.. maybe you wouldnt be so stressed for time... of course you may be tired all day, but then, maybe you will fall asleep better at night!!
