8 before 6

I arrived at my stashed water at 5:57 this morning. Not bad for 8 miles. I didn't run it fast which meant an early departure from the household. I walked out the door at 4:35 this morning knowing that I wanted to do 8 miles and if I was going to be successful that I needed to rise early and hit the pavement earlier than my normal 5:00 AM.

So far for the week I have just over 18 miles in, this looks like it will be close to a 30 mile week, which will be the most for me in one week, even considering the training days for the half marathon.

I am feeling much better since my last post last week when I was in the recovery mode from some food poisoning. I am still doing good and holding steady in the weight department as can be seen in my post on my other blog: blog.2big.org

    Dude! You're a maniac! Great job getting out "on the road" at that early hour...

    This morning, on my run, I saw a major lizard watching me (about 1 ft long and 1.5 lbs). It seems like every time I'm running I see lizards. Maybe they think I'm funny...

    Funny.....

    One thing I have never been accused of being is..... normal.

    And lizards? I have seen a lot, but never a lizard.... but I guess I am in the wrong part of the world for that :)

    How do you keep track of your runs??, by only using a stopwatch or do you use something else??

    By the way, visit my running blog if you have a chance

    I can't do anything at 4:35 in the morning. Other than fish. I will get up that early to fish. :)

    Well done and great week of running Tim.

    Amaury - thanks for stopping by, I just use a watch, but the watch does do lap times which in my opinion is a must. I also have a heart rate monitor that I run with sometimes, but it doesn't do laps so it is not my first choice.

    Rick - I am a bit strange.... maybe I am doing it wrong though.... because I am not the one that just finished my first marathon :) Great job!

    Glad to see you feeling better and back out there.
    As my training picks up I will be out there a little before 5:00 a.m. under the beautiful GA skies getting my runs in too. Right now I can still run at lunch so I am opting to sleep in .
