- I am more awake and am not so afraid I will fall off the treadmill and make a fool of myself.
- I can run faster because I have been awake for hours and am warmed up.
- I don't feel exhausted all day because I woke up at 4:30 am.
- I can get all the thoughts from work out of my head and vent my frustration in a positive way by leaving it all at the gym.
- When running outside early I am always afraid I will trip on the sidewalk because it is so dark.
- I worry about the creeps lurking around at 5 AM maybe waiting for runners. It is just not safe for females to run by themselves in the dark, even in my comfy suburb.

SOOOO nice to know that I'm not all alone in my anti-early morning running!
