"Uhh," Santana groaned as she fumbled to turn off her blaring alarm clock with her eyes still closed. After a good minute of haphazardly reaching for it, she finally turned to her side and opened her eyes. The red glowing numbers on her clock read 4:05. She groggily sat up and sighed.

She couldn't believe that she had actually agreed to Puck's idea of getting back into shape after the holidays. But it was her one and only New Year's resolution; she might as well try to accomplish it now than later.

Santana was pulled from her thoughts when her phone started vibrating. "Hello?" she answered in a tired voice, hoarse from the lack of sleep.

"Morning San! Your voice sounds sexy," replied Puck. She could definitely hear him smirking over the phone.

"Shut up Puck," she retorted, a hint of a frown visible.

"Aw, c'mon. You know you love me," he said in a smug voice.

She rolled her eyes but smiled. Although most of the time Puck was immature and annoying, she still loved him to death. How couldn't she? He was her best friend since they were little. Plus, they always had each other's backs, no matter what.

"Yeah, yeah. You know that I love you," she laughed.

"Best friends?" he chuckled.

"Forever and always," she answered, smiling into the phone.

"I'll swing by in a few minutes. Better be ready Lopez; no exceptions," he threatened jokingly.

"Ehh.." she replied halfheartedly. Santana was definitely not in the mood to run, but promises weren't meant to be broken. "Fine," she grumbled, giving in.

Getting a small chuckle from the end of the other line, Santana pressed the end button and placed her phone down on her bed.

She flipped on her light switch and walked into her closet. She tossed on a loose navy long-sleeve tee and some grey sweats. Then, she quickly brushed her teeth and pulled her hair into a messy bun. Although she usually dressed to impress, today was just not one of those days. After leaving the bathroom, she walked towards the kitchen. She grabbed a bottle of water, her Ipod, and her running sneakers before heading to the door.

As she closed the door behind her, she shivered from the cold morning air. She had trouble locking her door because it was still so dark outside. While trying to correctly insert her key into the lock and failing miserably, she heard a quiet laugh behind her. Santana turned around and there was Puck, quite amused at her situation.

"Um, why don't you just use the light from your Ipod?" he questioned.

"Yeah... I didn't think of that. If you haven't noticed, I'm kind of still sleeping. FYI, it's freakin' 4:30 in the morning," she huffed, annoyed that she hadn't thought of that earlier.

"Trust me. Running will make you feel a lot better," Puck simply replied. He turned and slowly made his way down her driveway.

She sighed. With a final twist of her key, the door was finally locked. She slid her keys into her pocket and put on her earphones. She shook her head one last time before meeting Puck at the bottom of her driveway.

"Let's go," Santana said, softly smiling.
