As soon as I get home, I get the kiddos set up in whatever they will be doing (or coming with) and I change my clothes and start running. If I don't do that I could easily get distracted.<br /><br />Enjoy your marathon. Just think it will be over so fast conpared to that really long run you took. It will practically just be a warm up. ;-) Don't stress. You don't have anything to prove. Just enjoy it!Shellyrm ~ just a country runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822262051285512641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-29370123079955964712012-03-07T13:07:45.422-05:002012-03-07T13:07:45.422-05:00Don't know about the chocolate thing...but it ...Don't know about the chocolate thing...but it sure does sound like more research is needed. :-)<br /><br />I workout in the pre-dawn hours almost exclusively, and for me the key is to JUST NOT THINK when the alarm first goes off. If I start thinking, I can justify nearly anything as being a good idea...in fact, much better than my plan the night before. Of course, that is one of my "go to" mantras on long runs as well..."Don't think. Just Do" (sort of a spin off the Yoda quote).<br /><br />You are going to be awesome this weekend though...can't believe you're stressing at all really. You have a lot of talent in the distance running area, and you will undoubtedly do well.<br /><br />Best of luck this weekend !Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05091364691248272512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-16198666485627464532012-03-07T12:19:16.794-05:002012-03-07T12:19:16.794-05:00I worked out at night before we moved here and the...I worked out at night before we moved here and the key for me was working out with friends. We had a standing date at the gym every Monday-Thursday night and with all the chatting we did I hardly ever felt like I was working out!Suz and Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703593542540533784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-91710579924281747032012-03-07T11:23:30.054-05:002012-03-07T11:23:30.054-05:00From now on I'm going to announce that I'm...From now on I'm going to announce that I'm working on my PhD every time I read an article. That does make it sound way smarter. And the lack of evening motivation is why I've never been in to waiting until then for my workouts. Sometimes if I feel extra motivated I do a two-a-day in the evening, but if my workout isn't done by 10 AM then it usually isn't going to happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-32533585834532332502012-03-07T11:17:25.808-05:002012-03-07T11:17:25.808-05:00If i'm lacking energy in the evening ill usual...If i'm lacking energy in the evening ill usually do a class or meet up with other people - usually being with other people/friends is enough to amp up my energy...otherwise, i'd probably just nap :-) and you are going to be great this weekend!Jackienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-65477523361334681662012-03-07T11:16:02.020-05:002012-03-07T11:16:02.020-05:00Damn skippy!Damn skippy!emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08461915417656593647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-29835272838449996812012-03-07T11:15:14.963-05:002012-03-07T11:15:14.963-05:00I have failed so much on the morning workout plan....I have failed so much on the morning workout plan.

I'm not even eating chocolate currently (gave it up for Lent) and getting out of bed in the morning seems impossible, but I think it's me and not the chocolate.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15351579053400057634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336273598199876862.post-29267658111236723182012-03-07T10:28:29.303-05:002012-03-07T10:28:29.303-05:00Hmmm, I had chocolate last night after my workout ...Hmmm, I had chocolate last night after my workout and getting up was for the birds this morning.
