4 miles today...4 miles tomorrow

I am now scarily used to waking up at 5:15 AM for my workouts. Don't really know if scarily is a word, but it describes the fact that I can wake up without my alarm every morning....even the weekends. The good news...I have A.D.D and I might as well workout b/c getting to work at 6:30 is not an option.

Ran 4 miles this morning and running another 4 tomorrow followed by 9 miles on Sunday morning. My runs have been great and very comfortable at 8:45 miles. Starting in July, I'll have to push it a little and kick it in at 8:15 to 8:30 miles. The goal is to keep the training rolling and run the NYC marathon at race pace or 8:15 per mile. Shouldn't be a problem.

I keep passing the same runners every morning and it's like they know me know. I get this distinct nod and smile and "good morning" as if we've been friends for years. I guess when you run at 5:30 AM, you kinda join a group.
