I feel the same about preferring to run/workout before eating, I just need to do something to really wake myself up in the morning. Haven't seen any negative effects of running 7 vs 6, but my pace has been considerably slower than before. My body hasn't fallen apart just yet, I'll definitely take a rest day if needed. Thanks for the advice! @diana I'm just happy that I've still been able to find time to run on a semi-consistent basis. I think once I get settled at work, running will become more of a bigger focus for me. All in due time :) @Benj Arriola You may not be able to keep up, but BOL FIT Club was really fun. We had some good times :) Ps Ilya and Meg were never able to keep up LOL @lindsay Being a hare works for a 5K, but anything longer and I wish I were the tortoise.

Now I am never going to run with you. LOL I will just be left behind. Probably Ilya and Meg might still be able to keep up. Nice, very very very good.

Soemtimes life just gets in the way. Just take it all in stride. You may not feel prepared, but you had a ton of other things that needed attention and that is ok.
