when you find the answer let me know, I always have to go running early but 7-9:30 is my ideal starting time. After that it gets to hot for me. Try getting a friend or two to go with you. Last one out of bed gets cold water dumped on them

MOTIVATION.. . It works.. . When you wake up each morning the FIRST thing you do is go over over the program, the menu if you will. Why is it worth getting up today or anyday?. . You want to look good for Junior year and there must be a few reasons for that, yeah! So think about that as soon as you wake up. . . Ignore the alarm - it's already done it's job. Stay awake and chill for a few minutes, allow yourself to slowly wake up. It sometimes takes me 5 minutes to finally get out of the bed.. . I know this works so try it!

think about this, you want to have a great workout... you want to look great?? you just answered your own question too with that sentence "I want to look great for Junior Year next year." THERES YOUR ANSWER... everytime you wake up try as hard as you can to think about that phrase. that should help motivate you enough just thinking about that.

willpower!. honestly i understand what you're goin thru--. i get up at 5am to lift before I go to work. it takes a lot of motivation--when you hear that alarm--pull yourself up and you'll wake up in 15 or so minutes. or hide your alarm clock so you can't hit the snooze button conveniently

If you're running for weight loss, put up pictures of skinny women. They'll be the last thing you see at night. Also, put one on your alarm clock over the snooze button, or where you can easily see it. If you see what you want to look like, it'll motivate you to get out of bed, and get moving! :D
