The dreaded 5am wake up

OK...today was going to be a hurdle. I had to wake up at 5:00 and hit the bricks to get to the gym so I could go before work and shower and get dressed. I can't even proclaim the joy I have for getting that done. I ALMOST hit snooze that one last time, but pulled myself out of bed instead. I kept reminding myself how good it would feel to have gotten it done. It was worth it. I had packed all of my stuff the night before, I had my work out stuff ready to go....I had to do it. I got to the gym, put my stuff in a locker, and got on the treadmill. It was harder today than yesterday because I hadn't given my body the day to rest. The program says that you should rest in between running days, but I knew if I didn't go today I wouldn't be back until Wednesday. I worked up a serious sweat and felt awesome. Oddly enough I was the only person getting ready for work in the locker room. It was dead, which made life much easier. I got ready for work and was out in time to get a low fat turkey bacon breakfast sandwich from Starbucks. Boy did that feel good! So it was a victory to go today. I hurt at work right now, but the good kind of hurt where I know I'm moving in a good direction. I'm signing up for the gym I've been trying out, and this will become a regular thing. I feel too good after doing just 2 days of it for it not to be :)
