How about “hellish” or “Mark’s nemesis” or “not gonna happen”.
I know when I’m beaten. Running in the morning is absolute misery for me. I tried but every morning run just felt worse than the last.
I am seriously not kidding when I say I’d rather run in 90 degree mid-day heat than run in the morning. Not kidding at all.
So, I switched back to afternoons a few days ago. And I’m already feeling worlds better.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Good try Mark! My favorite time to run is before the sun comes up . . . sometimes here in Dallas we don’t have much of a choice.

I’m with you on that! I hate running in the mornings, it never works out well for me.

morning runs are the best for me, if i start early it become a challenge to beat the sun home.

I normally love morning runs, but I need to be awake for a while before I head out otherwise it is hellish.

Lucky for you, “Edmonton hot” is not so bad as say, “Texas hot” or places like that. You’ll do well with afternoon heat training – I get the feeling that you’re much better at listening to your body than you used to be.
I’m with you on the avoidance of morning running. I can do the odd morning weekend long run when necessary, but the before-work weekday stuff is not for me.
