Morning runs are tough!

This morning, I got up well before the crack of dawn, around 5am. Ate a half piece of toast with peanut butter, chucked some water, stretched out the legs, then hopped on the treadmill for a long, steady run.  I ran 3 miles at 8:30 pace, then 4 miles at 8:00 pace, then 1 miles at 7:47 pace, and finally 1 mile at 7:30 pace.  I finished all 10 miles in about 70 minutes.

I don't mind running in the morning - but I definitely don't have the same energy level that I do when running later in the day.  I think having a little something in the tummy helps.  Lately, my face has been getting flushed when I finish my runs.  I don't know if it's because it's really warm in our workout room, or if my diet is unbalanced.  I'll have to research that a bit more.
