One foot in front of the other.
For those of you that read my blog (runanskyrun.blogspot.com), follow me on Twitter (twitter.com/runanskyrun), or are my Facebook friend (that you have to ask me for) you’ll know that I do most of running early in the morning. Both my wife and I are busy people and if I don’t get my miles in the morning, I don’t get them in for the day. It’s also not as warm during the summer months. I’d like to share with you some tips for preparing for morning runs. As a disclosure, Steve Runner spoke about morning runs on Fdip 179 (March 20, 2009). I apologize if I sound repitiious but I have been using many of the tips mentioned in Fdip 179 long before Steve recorded Fdip 179.
My apologies for not guest blogging more often. My life has been very hectic these days. I hope you enjoyed this entry. As always, Brandon and I love comments and feedback.

Thanks for ratting me out BRANDON.
Yes, yes….I called in sick one day for work, because I mistook my nausea for a virus that has been going around, when really my blood sugar was just low. tee hee I will eat from now on. 
Thanks, Ari.
I hear you on giving yourself time to wake up, that seems to make all the difference. The big problem is timing. I was out the door and running 16 minutes after I woke up this morning… had I given myself 30 minutes to wake up, I would have either been late to work, or slightly sleep deprived. It's a tough balance!
Agreed, it is a very tough balance. I find myself, a lot of the time, not getting to bed early enough to warrant waking up for long rides. After all, rest is as important as any other part of training.
[...] allow for running or time at the gym. It is also quite possible that I was inspired by Jason and Ari, who both wrote about morning running this week. Some of my friends on dailymile also run and [...]
