Without a doubt, because of Mr. Karzazes email and the fact I almost finished his book last night, today was all about the running. Well, running/walking.

I decided to set the treadmill up a little higher, to make it a bit more difficult, since it’s generally easier than “real” running. It slowed me down a bit, but I still managed to trudge out about 3 miles in 30 minute.

I’m working more towards trying to get my body to operate with some speed for the amount of time I plan to take in the event, for example, run at a good clip for 15 minutes, swim for 10, bike for 45 (then do it again, usually).

One thing I don’t understand is how my mind works in the morning…the entire time I’m struggling to get up at 5am (-ish), all I want to do is go back to sleep. Once I’m up, and working out, I feel great, and I feel better all day. My mood is better, I get more done, etc….if I stay in bed, I’m sluggish, pissed at myself for not getting up, have a harder time focusing…etc…

So, why does my body still want sleep? I guess it will be a battle every morning.
