So how did this translate into my running? If you've been following along with my blog, you know that I am in no way a morning runner. I tried a while back, but that only lasted for a week or so. Now that I'm marathon training though, and my weekend long runs are getting into the double digits, I knew that it would be so much easier to get those runs out of the way early.

Although I'm still not waking up at the crack of dawn, I've been able to get myself out of bed and out the door on Saturday mornings with no hesitation, something I would never dream of doing after a late Friday night at the bar. Sure the beer definitely makes for a more sluggish morning, but I also wasn't going out on Fridays which meant I was in bed earlier.
