Yesterday, I said I planned on being a good little runner girl and getting out at 5:30 this morning to run. Instead, I was a very bad little runner girl. I was up at 5:30; hell, I even got out of bed and walked around the house for a while, contemplating changing into my running clothes. But I just couldn't do it. The bed was begging me to come back to its warmth and coziness, and I obliged. (Why, in the morning, I am able to rationalize that 45 lousy minutes of sleep is so needed and wonderful, I'll never know. Looking back, it would have been much smarter for me to get up and get going - I probably wouldn't feel as groggy as I do now.)
I am so blah lately - I have a million things I want or need to do, but my body keeps saying, "let me rest!" And I listen.
Tonight, no more! I am seriously trying to pep myself back up and get back into that conquer-the-world attitude that was working so well for me for the first few weeks of this month. I've got a boatload of family coming in this weekend and I want the house to be cute, clean and presentable for the first official showing. And, I've got a boatload of cake to eat on Sunday and I won't be able to do this completely guilt-free unless I get my butt outside and run.

I'm not a morning person either. It has always been easier for me to run at 9:30 at night than 5:30 in the morning. Find what works for you! Run and eat that cake ;-)
You really should consider the Galloway Training plan. Two thirty minute runs a week then a long run on Sunday (or Saturday). That might take some of the pressure off of you for time. K. I'll shut up now :-)
I'm the same way in the morning. I know people who say that once their up, their up, but not me. I can get up, take the dog out, feed him breakfast, etc, and then go right back to bed. You'd think that if I was already up and was even outside, I could stay up, but that's not how I am.
You'll get your run in at another time -- maybe later in the day. Don't feel too guilty.
