Auburn-Sheri Fletchers home off of Cooper's corner turn. Drove on some back Rds to get to her house. 5:15 a.m. It was VERY hard to get up this morning due to the fact I went to bed at 11:30 p.m. and got up a little before 5 p.m. Why do I do this to myself? It was neat to run with Sheri this time as one of the meeting places. It was some back rds we ran on. There was only 1 hill involved. It was just Sheri, Mishel, and me. They had lights on their hats and reflector vests. I was tired and we did a slow pace but that was fine for this morning. Nice weather, not too cold at all and clear skies. (even though very dark to see)

So impressive. How do you function on so little sleep? I seriously feel awful on less than 7 hours, it has to be my priority which is why I doubt I could ever run with you on the weekdays. Impressive dedication!

I don't know how I function on that little of sleep. I think I am starting to get used to it which is bad. HOwever, I do so much better on 7 or more. I can really tell the difference. Its just hard to miss a morning of running when I am training for something.

I'm wondering the same thing how do you do it?!! I set my clock to get up early and never can drag my butt out of bed. You are so motivated!

Believe me, it is very hard. There are a few mornings I can't do it but when I run with others it makes me to where I can't really sleep in as much, esp if I carpool. he he. You just have to really want to go running and set your mind to it the night before then when the alarms goes off, get up quick! If I sleep likee 5 more min. it's over...lol
