what is your MORNING run routine?

get up around 7:15, pee, eat a banana, brush my teeth, get changed, out running by 7:30, back by 8:10, stretch, quick shower, breakfast

Class at 11:45 AM, so I don't have to get up early; 7:45 AM-8:00 AM usually.

Pound a glass of water and two slices of wheat bread, just because I'm usually hungry when I wake up. Even if it's useless for energy because it will take a while to digest it, it helps psychologically.

Drive to nearby XC course while sipping some more agua, and finish up the bottle on the run.

Up at 4:55, let the dog out, cup of coffee, then usually on the road by 5:15 & back by 6:00-7:00 depending on the type of run.

Stretch, shower, breakast & out the door again by 7:45 on my way to work...
