Thanks for the shout out!!!
With a busy family and a full time job and friends who run early… mornings certainly work best for me.
Running by 4:45 Usually done by 6!
Once the body adjusts, and it becomes a habit and part of the daily routine, it’s not too bad.
Making it a habit! Key! So true that our bodies adjust. Thanks for sharing, Karl!
