Yesterday, I wrote about how I feel like I am having trouble managing my time. Step one in trying to reclaim my time is to move the bulk of my workouts to the morning. I know it'll be difficult for me to do my long runs in the morning at first, but hopefully my body will eventually adjust. I've been trying to get to bed around 10 and fall asleep by 11 (I take forever to get comfortable and fall asleep most nights), and get up around 7. My plan is to slowly move my wake up time eventually to 6:30, or maybe even 6 over the summer (when I try to get to work early to avoid walking in the 90-degree heat).

This morning, I woke up at 7, took about 15 minutes to get out of bed and dressed for the gym, and then headed downstairs for my workout. I only had a short, 2 mile run on the agenda for today, so it was a good run to start my morning workouts with. Tomorrow I have to run 4 miles, which is going to be more difficult for me at that hour. There isn't even good television on at 7a.m. to distract me!

March 6: 5 mile run (untimed, outdoors)
March 9: 4 mile run (43:38)
March 10: 2 mile run (22:55)
