Hit and Run

I am SO FRUSTRATED right now. (Hence the violent title).
As any southerner would know, the heat is truly starting to kick in about now.
Which means that running in the afternoons is next to impossible.
I did it today, and not only was I incredibly slow, but I was dizzy and nauseous the whole time.
Damn heat.

So I figured, 'hey, I can beat this!' I'll just run in the mornings before school.
But mom shut me down.
She insists that I have to have a running partner to run in the morning or I can't do it.
Just one problem:
NO OTHER HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT IS GOING TO WAKE UP BEFORE 7 TO RUN 4 MILES.

I know that my mom's just trying to look out for me, but I hate how difficult fitting my running in is made by OTHER PEOPLE.
Anyone else have similar problems?
