As a former military woman, I've developed a love and fondness for early morning runs. It's quiet, cooler, and I often end up feeling like I can run FOREVER.. you know, once I actually get STARTED. Did I mention that's the hardest part? I've always been a morning person, that is, as long as I get a good night's sleep, so I'm happy and energetic most mornings. A good morning run or bike ride with my two dalmatians is the ULTIMATE start to what inevitably becomes a GREAT DAY. Once I'm in the groove of getting up early enough, and have enough days consistently under my belt, morning runs become an easy habit. Of course, during the winter months here in Wisconsin, this is all much, much harder, but I did buy a treadmill recently to fix that problem. I generally don't eat before hand either. Especially as I am losing weight, I can guarantee I've set my body up to burn at a higher metabolism rate if I kick off the morning with some great cardio and then have a good protein-centered low carb breakfast afterwards.Speaking of, I can't wait for tomorrow!!
