My running schedule is just that, a boring schedule. I run Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. I typically run at the same times each day (after work on weekdays and early mornings on weekends). I run the same routes. Today though, I really mixed things up. I went to the gym before work this morning to get my run in.
This wasn't an experiment, but a desire not to be an awful spouse. My husband left on an early morning flight today and I just didn't have the heart to send him on the SuperShuttle at 3:30 am for his 7:20 am flight. I got him to the airport, made it to the gym, had my pick of treadmills and was at work by 7:30.
I was definitely motivated to run fast this morning; I think this might have been my very first run with a deadline! And the run was pretty good--I had no end of day remorse about the overly garlicky lunch that revisited during the run, and no excuses as to why I was too tired to run (except for the predawn alarm clock). I was starving all day today, but that isn't very different than any other day while I'm training.
Verdict on the pre-work run: not so bad, as long as you can figure out how to stop sweating before noon.
