Pros and cons of a 7AM run

If my alarm goes at, say, 7AM my first thought tends not to be "hurray, let's jump out of bed, and straight onto the cold street". But quite often it is exactly what I do. Straight from bed into running kit, a sip of water, and then off I go. My body often isn't awake at all when I go for a run that early, and I often end up going really slowly, but at least I do get the exercise. And I have been rewarded for this self-discipline by some rather spectacular sunrises!
