Early Morning Workout

"Exercise in the morning

How do you know I'm committed to the task at hand? I wake up shortly after 5am on my own will and get to the gym to run before enjoying my day off.

It still feels weird and I'm not sure I could do this all the time, but I'm feeling great right now.

I also crushed my duration goal for December today.

Run 3/12 Month 1/24

Distance Ran: 1.2 miles
Duration of Run: 13:49 minutes
Pace of Run: 11:31 minutes/mile
Goals Crushed: December's Total Minutes

Full List of Monthly Goals

I had it in my head that I was shooting for a longer (time) run today. I hit 12 minutes 30 seconds and bumped up my speed by 0.2 at Josh's suggestion to push myself. I knew I wanted to get to 13:30 and when I did I was .03 from 1.2 miles, so I kept going.

I not only crushed December's duration goal, but I better my pace today, maybe by only 1 second, but better none the less.

I believe some of my extra motivation came from the fact that today is the 2016 Wine and Dine Half Marathon, giving me that extra boost.

Here's the course they are taking this year, in case anyone is wondering.
