So, is there anything I can do?

One day at a time
Yeah, I know that my excuses are excuses, though it's frustrating that as soon as it's light past 5pm here, it's immediately too hot too run! In the winter I don't like to run in the early morning because I don't live in the best neighborhood, and when it's dark and deserted at 6am I don't really feel comfortable. I was probably also the slowest kid in 8th grade. The first time I ran a full mile without stopping was during C25K at age 22.
325th place or bust!

Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to
remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.
