I really don't like getting up in the morning to run. I have to find someone to run with me so I can have an accountability partner and vice versus. I mean I took like over an hour to get out of bed. Geez! I like running... I just don't like the getting out of my warm bed part. And that's only going to get harder when it gets colder outside.
The run went well today although it wasn't as long or as far as I'd like. I took Monty along to see how he would do and it was definitely way too much for the little guy. He loves it and I know he enjoyed it but at the end he was just way too tired and I felt like I was dragging him along. Maybe for the short runs (if we ever have them again) but nothing over 45 minutes.
I also REALLY need to get a different water pack to take with me. The one I have now is too big, too spread out, just too much so I didn't take it today and after reading some online marathon stuff, and after really wanting water this morning, I gotta get those cute little bottles or at least one single one.
Oh, Oh, Oh! Bonus this morning... I found a hidden pocket in my running shorts. Yes, running shorts I've had for more than 6 weeks and I just found it. It's that little pocket for your house key and I was so happy to find it. It's definitely the little things that make me happy.
Also, I added stretching afterwards today and that was a good thing. I'm finding that my calves are very tight. I imagine its because I wear 3-5 inch heals every day and now all of a sudden I'm slamming my legs down on the concrete with flat shoes for an hour a day. Stretching is awesome! I found marathonrookie.com and they had some good ones on there.

I’m within you with the whole waking up early to go running… A couple of weeks ago I promised myself that I was going to split my cardio apart from my weight raining (according to many source it’s a much more effective way of training), well… I did it twice and haven’t been able to do it since. When the alarm goes off in the morning, I simply hit turn it off thinking “just a few more minutes” but those few more minutes always ended up being an hour which by the time I actually get up it’s too late because I have to work. Finding someone to run with will definitely help, like you said, if you keep each other accountable then it makes it easier, good look with that :-D.
