I've been pretty faithful about my morning runs. It's hard to believe I've been running regularly for a little over a year now. This time last year, I was hating 50% or more of my runs. I hadn't quite figured it all out yet. What a huge difference a year can make!
My Facebook status from one year ago: "I
ran 2.89 mi on Sep. 13, time: 00:28:59. Getting there...slowly. Need to increase the mileage. Those hillls kick my butt though!" (10:02 pace). Pace on this morning's four mile run, 8:55/mile. I'd say that's a decent improvement!
If you are not running now, take the first step and you will be able to see how far you've come in a year as well. It's very rewarding. One of the other rewards of getting up early to run is the sunrises (a/k/a "run-rises") that I get to see. It may be hard to get my butt out of bed each morning, but I always enjoy the morning view!
Just look at what you are missing:
