I really want to start waking up early to get my marathon training out of the way..then a quick workout at the gym in the afternoon.
But every morning I hit snooze until I actually need to be out of bed! Any suggestions? Its been a mini goal for me for months now..I NEED TO DO THIS! I just dont know how..lol (besides going to bed earlier as opposed to chatting on liweddings )
Any suggestions?

ya just gotta do it! Maybe put your alarm across the room so you actually have to get up to turn it off?

Do you have a work out buddy?
In college I rowed and had to get up at 4:45 to be on the river and get in a workout before classes. The only reason I could do it was knowing that my entire team was depending on me to wake up.

Wow I am so you! I have 3 months till the wedding and want to start start running in the morning. I do it at night now but I think it would be more beneficial in the am. Prob is I snooze for an hour, roll out of bed and get ready in like 10 min!!!!
Anyway I find turning the light on or opening the shade helps but well it hasn't worked yet!

i second putting your alarm clock across the room and put your shoes close to your bed as a reminder you have to get up and run!

Just DO NOT think about it. If you lie in bed and ponder about...tommorow I promise I will do it...it wont happen.....
Try going to bed earlier to..it might help a little....

I am so the same way...put an alarm clock some where far away from the bed. Or even better..my boss just bought me an old school alarm clock...its loud as hell and it scares the crap out of me in the morning!!! Try that lol

How much sleep are you getting? I started going to bed earlier and I feel so much better. My skin even looks better. DH thinks I get an obscene amount of sleep but its about 7 hours a night.
I wake up at 5:30 though so no way in heck I am getting up at 4:30 to run anywhere

I've been trying to do the same thing for about 2 months now. I just don't want to get out of bed. I have to be at work by 7:10, but I'm trying to get up around 4:45, so I can be at the gym by 5.
I'm just about 100 days from the wedding, so I really need to get my butt in gear.

Youre getting married one day before me!! Ok soooo..
DAY 1: I moved my alarm across the room and set not one but TWO CELL PHONES.. I hit snooze on ALL OF THEM :(
I can recall being aware at 5:15 that I could still run 4 miles and get home by 630 to shower, BUT...I remember saying to myself ' You went to bed at 12:30 last night! , tonight you will go to bed at 10 and do it right tomorrow!'
EXCUSES EXCUSES!!!

Set your alarm to a HORRIBLE STATION so that you are forced to get up and turn it off across the room!!!!!
Also..don't keep it cold in your bedroom..when it's cold you NEVER want to get out of bed... I find that if Im hot....I want to get out of bed!!!
