My Morning Coffee

Just ran 5 miles with the jogger and now am enjoying the morning coffee before my 3 year old awakens! Nate is hanging out playing with toys next to me on the floor. Mornings are my favorite time to run. I remember questioning my friend Hallie on how she could get up at 5am to run each day, now I can't imagine not running in the morning. Sometimes it is 5am and sometimes it is 10 am but usually before noon.





Reasons I like to run in the morning:

• I love getting up and getting the run in so I can eat away and drink coffee all day without too much worry of how things will sit in my stomach for a run.
  
• As summer approaches it is cooler in the morning as well so no need to worry about the heat of the day.
• Less chance of actually skipping the run - just get up, and put your shoes on before you have time to think about it.
• I can focus on the kiddos without worrying how I will work the run in to our busy day
  

If you have a favorite time of day to run/reason why you like it, please share. Below is a link to a Runner's World article that covers running tips on different times of the day.

Happy Trails!
