Temperature this morning was 25 degrees. I stayed up late last night watching the Rockies and Phillies play (my team is already in the LA Dodgers) so I got up a little later than normal. I was 100% unmotivated to run, but I got out the door anyway.

It's funny! Once I get out the door and get past the first mile my whole countenance changes, and I can start focusing on the run. It's just getting out the door with not having a bad attitude about running that morning. What do you guys do when you feel this way about your attitude in the morning with running, do you go back to bed, or not do it that day, or go ahead and do it? We should have a poll on this.

Anyway, I ran 10.21 miles at an overall 6:47 pace in 1:09:15. Last two miles at (6:13, 6:18) any faster and I would have froze. Good run even on the lack of sleep.

I've got to retire my Brooks Axiom 2 shoes. I need to find another size 12.5 cheap like I did these ones. I like them for cushioning.

I heard a saying once that goes something like this "1/2 the battle is done by just getting started." Something like that. Also, good run and have a great day!

One foot in front of the other.. You heard the song?

Once you get yourself up and out the door, it does change for me too. Especially after the first mile or two when I finally wake up. It helps that I use the morning runs as easy/recovery runs so I don't have high expectations out of the run.

Jeff - the two mile wake up is good, and it does serve as a good recovery for the portion of the run. I wish I did have more time to do doubles. My legs usually feel really good at lunch.

I was going to run at lunch today, because my wife didn't need me at the daycare to cover lunches. But I had an emergency meeting, and had to be in on a team interview, so I had to eat my lunch at almost 3pm today.

I need to do more track work in the mornings. It's been over a year since I did Yasso 800's
