Early morning runs!

Over the last week my training miles have increased, we bought a house and have many activities going on – I kept thinking, when am I going to run? Well, being scheduled for a 7-8 miler on a weekday means early morning, I wasn’t sure if anyone else would want to run early on the weekends but….talk about dedication- our running group always has (crazy) runners. Over the weekend I needed a long run, and I needed it to be early due to a little family day we had planned. My running buddy met me at 4AM!!! And we trotted along until 4:45 – she had to leave and another running buddy picked up another 6 miles with me- at 6am, I thought well, what’s two more miles?! I ran with runners who I don’t normally get to since 6am is late for me, during the week anyways! It was a lot of fun and by 6:30am I had logged a little over 12 miles and had plenty of time to get the family ready and head to Ohio for a Christmas in July celebration!

You never know when a friend needs or wants to run, don’t be afraid to ask. Yesterday someone posted 3:30am- I knew they were kidding, but if she needed it- I would be there!

I should hit a little over 150 miles for the month of July. All of which have been logged with some (crazy) awesome runners. There’s no way I would be able to log all of these miles alone. Props to ya’ll for being so great! And if you’re reading this and still running alone- join a group run. It will change your life.

And coffee, lots and lots of coffee.
