But I've never liked scary movies, so I don't mind not watching them. <br /><br />I have no issues being a pain in the ass, so if you need wake up motivation and texts feel free to ask! I'm always up M-F at 4:15 for work. How I wish it were for running!

That is exactly what I think of getting up at 4:15am to go running! <br /><br />The last time I got up early to run I learned that most of the bathrooms at the beach don't open until 10AM. Luckily the Starbucks at the beach opens much sooner! I'm sure they love all the runners coming in and queueing up for the bathroom with no intention to buy a coffee and donut!

It was just getting too hard to get out there after a 10 hour day at work. The first few days were awful, but I've learned to enjoy my morning runs. Because it's so dark now at 5:00 a.m. I drive into town and run under the street lights. (I live in rural MN) I've also learned not to sit down and have a cup of coffee before my run...cuz then I get too comfortable and never get out there. So I'm like Hanna - get out of bed, get dressed and leave. I wish I had friends that would text me too!! So awesome! <br />Good Luck with your marathon training! I'm looking forward to hearing your reports and supporting you along the way!<br />Keep up the great work!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08293095551400296300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417693555590736116.post-77129377160237801372015-08-26T08:36:06.480-07:002015-08-26T08:36:06.480-07:00I guess I'm lucky that I have a trooper of a s...I guess I'm lucky that I have a trooper of a stomach. But, actually, I prefer not to eat before my morning runs. I literally just roll out of bed, put on my clothes/watch, pull my hair back and GO. Not only do I run better on an empty stomach, but the more time I give myself to putz around before I run, the more likely I will just talk myself out of it. I need to get my butt out the door before my mind has a chance to resist what I'm about to to. I guess I'm just lucky this strategy works for my stomach.<br /><br />Speaking of lucky, how lucky are you to have friends that are actually up that early - and more than one of them! I wish I had a support system like that that I could rely on so early in the AM.Hannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728566362857791633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5417693555590736116.post-67851498666852818332015-08-25T18:07:08.724-07:002015-08-25T18:07:08.724-07:00I am amazed by the fact that you can get up in the...I am amazed by the fact that you can get up in the 4 o'clock hour to run!!!! I mean, I guess I would do it too if I HAD to, but any time with a "4" in the beginning of it just seems like it is still in the middle of the night!<br /><br />I need to be DONE running by 7am. That give me 20 min to stretch, 15 min to get ready, and 15 min to drive to work. I get up anywhere between 5:30-5:45. My stomach has made me late MANY times!

I've recently been running with the "Zombies, Run!!" app running and there are DEFINITELY times that I find myself a little jumpy. I'll be listening to the story and sometimes will feel the hair on the back of my neck rise when I am passing by a particularly dark area. And don't get me started on how I feel when the Zombie hordes are actually "chasing" me! HA! <br /><br />I hate getting up to go for a run. I have such a hard time motivating myself... that's why I always end up running after work or before bed. Thankfully my schedule allows for that.
