I'm not so bright these days - this is the 2nd night in a row that I haven't started running until after 10:00 at night.  Brilliant, eh?  Luckily I'm only going 2 miles - unfortunately, my kids still wake up at 6:30.  : (

That is hard to get out at that time! I am impressed, you are really sticking to your goal! Hopefully you can get it in a little earlier today!

Way to keep your commitment to run every day . . . :) I have had to run late at night before, and it is no fun, but I have heard Sasha say before that if he commits to running a certain number of miles in a day, he will make sure he gets them in, even if he has to run at 10:00 pm. You could always hop on the trusty treadmill, right . . . ?

James - Actually both my Monday and Tuesday runs were on the treadmill (love that thing!!). I'm too wimpy to run by myself outside after dark (or before light, in the early morning).

Thanks, Kim, for your encouragement!!! I really appreciate it!!!!

You are doing such a great job. To be running on the treadmill after 10:00 and then up at 6:30 with kids - you are super woman!!

Hey- ate least you're getting in the miles- bravo! Are you able to unwind and sleep afterwards?

yeah...that's supposed to be "at" least.. (maybe I'm hungry?...)
