5 Miles for breakfast

I did the unusual this morning, I went for a run at 6:15. I'm not normally one to be so active in the morning, but I was stressing about getting my training in this week. I have commitments every night after work this week so finding time to run was going to be a chore.

So there I was, having coffee at 5:30, out the door at 6:15. Getting up early didn't bother me, but being ready to run at the hour is not much fun. Usually when I run after work I spend the day preparing, eating the right stuff, stretching out and drinking tons of fluid. Today, I had 3 cups of coffee and hit the road. I was too tight to even try to stretch at that hour. I was probably asleep for the first two miles. It was a pretty uneventful run, a nice bounce back after Friday's 9 miler. I know I will have to do these early morning runs from time to time so I will deal with them the best that I can.

Physically the only issue I'm having is another case of bloody nipples. I forgot to use my body glide on Friday's run, damn things are so raw it's like a piercing gone bad!! I used it again this morning, but it didn't help much, too much damage, it looks like it's band aid time for a while!!-File this under too much information if you want!!

I've now run 8 times totaling 38 miles in the 16 days that I've been back!!

It must suck to be a Jets fan today!! Anyone else want to punch out the guy with the white fireman's hat?? Jets is a four letter word, do you really have to spell it out for the crowd?? WTF
