It is hard for me to establish a pattern of morning running, because every time in need to run in the a.m. I sleep like crap the night before. I woke up 6 times to check to make sure my alarm was set and I still had time to sleep. Then I woke up at 4m thought I had time to sleep, but never did fall asleep again. Consequently, I'm exhausted. But my run was good and I'm glad I got it over with.

I do the same thing when I run in the morning. Sometimes I convince myself when I wake up to run that I need to go back to sleep because I slept so crappy. I wonder if we just got used to it, it would get better.

I know that's what it is for me. It's hard to get used to when the first early morning has me feeling sick by 6:00 p.m. But I'm going to try this week. So far I'm 4 for 4 (although Monday I didn't have to wake up early).

My other problem with morning running is that I can't run for too long, unless I am out the door at 4:30 or 4:45, which is a sacrifice I am not willing to make :)
