Chasing the bus
My back is better in the morning. Not spending the first two miles with low back pain/cramps is a big motivator. Laying out the clothes and just not thinking helps too. It's possible the whey protein for breakfast is making a difference also.

I totally agree with this. I get up at 4 am and the absolute key is to not allow yourself to even think about it or you will ALWAYS talk yourself out of it.
I can't imagine not being a regular early morning runner when it hits the 80s, On weekends likes yesterday I did some morning errands with my wife and ran near noon when it was in the high 70s. My run sucked but at least it wasnt a long one.
