Here's a picture of a gorgeous early morning sunrise while out making my fat cells scream!

Today's workout: 4 miles, 39:43
Shoes: Mizuno Wave Rider 15

I got up at the crack of dawn (ahem 5am) to go running before the hubs went to work. This is particularly impressive because I mostly work NIGHTS and getting up that early is like a normal person waking up at 2am to go for a run. It was a bit warm (75 degrees and 85%+ humidity) even before the sun came up. It seemed a bit cloudy as my satellite signal was terrible- I couldn't get either Pandora or Songza to load!

All in all, it was not a great run. I ate too much Mexican food the night before and the Monster woke up several times during the night so I was plain tired. I was a tad slower than normal. I had a few moments where I thought I was going to have to share my morning coffee with the pavement. BUT, I felt great when I got home. Running is tricky like that. Sure, I felt like I was having a heat stroke for a few minutes, but once I stretched and had some water, I felt human again and I was glad I didn't turn off my alarm.

My schedule at work rotates every 12 weeks and this is our first week on the new schedule. I'm not sure which day will work out best for my long run - but I'm hoping to do that tomorrow morning.
