Early Morning Workout: SOLSC #7


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!

  2. I 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!
    I like the schedule layout with the comments. Have a great day!

  3. 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.
    It keeps my attitude where it needs to be...
    thanks.

  4. 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.
    Happy writing,
    Ruth

  6. Boy 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.

  7. I love the seesaw effect between the action and your thinking, especially with the two fonts.

  8. You make an early morning workout so simple! I am a workout in the late afternoon/early afternoon type of girl. :)
