Instead of doing my morning run at 6 30, I started switching it until 11 am whenever I could. When I first wake up, my legs are so bad that I can barely walk...but after moving around and rubbing them for a few hours I can move a lot better...

I have a feeling the next 2 months are going to stay exactly like this as far as the miles go. I'm praying by Valentines Day that my morning runs will feel like my second runs do now.

For a little inspiration, I just read a great interview from Paige Higgins at Elite Running...check it out if you have a chance :http://www.eliterunning.com/features/
