The alarm goes off, it's 5:00 a.m.
Already, feels like I just went to bed.
Wearily, I slip out of bed and tip-toe into the bathroom.
Okay, I just need to open my eyes.
I change into my workout clothes, grab my bag, and head out the door.
This isn't so bad,
The roads are quiet, the traffic is light.
I should be there in 10 minutes.
I park, walk in and up the stairs.
Wow, I like this. There's barely anyone here.
I sign-in, put away my coat and bag.
Where should I start first?
I hop on the treadmill, lift a few weights, and I'm done.
I need some water.
I grab my coat and purse.
What time is it?
Out the door I go.
I should be home in 10 minutes.
It's 6:30 a.m. and I'm home again...ready to begin the rest of my day.
Yay!
I needed this reminder of why I love a good morning workout! I especially love how you paired your actions and thoughts for each step forward in your morning! Thanks for sharing this. :)
ReplyDeleteI just doesn't take as long as it seems it will. And it isn't as difficult as it seems it will be... I have to stop making excuses!
ReplyDeleteI like the schedule layout with the comments. Have a great day!
I teach exercise 5 mornings a week before school...I get to work out with such a fun group of people...we spend a little time every morning laughing while we exercise.
ReplyDeleteIt keeps my attitude where it needs to be...
thanks.
I love to two fonts -- almost like two voices. I've been thinking how to capture my exercise time in a slice this month. I'll have to tuck this format away and think about trying it.
ReplyDeleteHappy writing,
Ruth
I agree it always seems like I just went to bed when that pesky alarm goes off at 5am. Thanks for reminding me of the struggles and joys of morning exercise! Yah!
ReplyDeleteBoy am I ever feeling like a big slouch right now! I'm impressed and inspired, Valerie. I'd better get my act together. You make the morning exercise routine sound like easy fun.
ReplyDeleteI love the seesaw effect between the action and your thinking, especially with the two fonts.
ReplyDeleteYou make an early morning workout so simple! I am a workout in the late afternoon/early afternoon type of girl. :)
