No, I haven't entered anything. I can see how it can be a big motivator, so I'll give it a thought, but right now, I'm skeptical about entering anything. I justify it by saying "I do it for myself, not for a competition", but it sounds like a weak argument as I do.

    I found I was expecting too much improvement of myself too quickly.

How quickly was too quickly?

As for the morning runs - hell yes. It boosts both your confidence and energy throughout the day - unless you spend it, like I'm used to, sitting in front of the screen... and even that doesn't stop me from getting production momentum back.
