Cold, 7.25 miles around Sugarhouse at 5 am. Nice. Maybe a full moon?

It's hard for me to get out that early but it gets easier once I get on a roll.  

PM: 5.25 miles on the treadmill (started out at my usual 10 minute pace and worked down to 6:30 pace at the end) plus some light core work and strength training.  

One thing that has become non-negotiable is that I have to begin every run with about 1.25 miles at 10 minute pace before my body really wants to run. It takes a little patience but it's worth it.

You are correct, according to the full moon widget on my calendar, it was in fact a full moon.

Slow starting -- easing into the run -- absolutely non-negotiable. I am with you on that.
