I know, I know I know that this is not even close to the minimum of 8 miles I am supposed to be doing a day and my excuses are no good. I didnt make it out this morning because I could not sleep last night and didnt end up falling asleep til 3am and 4:30 came really fast. I could not move out of my bed, literally I felt like I had been run over my truck! So how did I get my 2.5 miles, well I attempted to go after work and felt miserable, legs werent working andI got a major side stitch so I ran back home and dont think I will try to go back out again tonight. So I will try to make them up during the rest of the week. I know they are not good excuses but thats just the facts!

if your ever feel bad about not running just go look at my blog. i try to run as little as i can and make it count especially in the winter. i rarely run in the morning, i like sleep more than running i guess.

At least you got in over 13 yesterday, so you were ahead of where you needed to be, so just get some sleep! I hope there is nothing in particular keeping you up and that you can make up the sleep over the rest of the week, too. 4:30 seems so much earlier in the winter too.

Look on the bright side - you were 5 miles ahead yesterday. So today you are only a net -.5 behind. You'll get it done!!

Hard to follow the advice of the top runners? 8 miles a day, tinman runs, CV, tempo, etc. The fast runners on the blog earn every second. No doubt why they are so good. Good luck on your quest.

At least you got in the 2.5! Probably barely worth the clothing change for you, but good job making something happen. Better luck tomorrow!

Going for a run is a good idea if you cannot fall asleep, and you have to be somewhere in the morning so you cannot sleep in to make up. So you lose no time, just come back and sleep in to make up.

Making up for a missed workout is not a good idea, see the list of training mistakes.

Well thats good to know, thank you!

Sasha

I read that top ten mistakes and need to improve on a few of them.

Some good pepper spray can help you feel comfortable running alone in the dark. I feel like 1am-6am are the safest times to run--that's when even the crazies out there get to sleep. I think more crazy people are awake and on the prowl at 6:30 than at 5am.

From MarcieJ on Fri, Dec 21, 2007 at 10:45:23

I do run with pepperspray all the time, no matter what time of day. But I am paranoid about it. It makes my husband really uncomfortable if I am alone out early in the mornings. So if I want him to support my running I will do what makes him comfortable.
