TWO mornings in a ROW.

[Susie]

I am on fire.  Lol.

Since college swimming, I have been aggressively anti-morning workout.  All those years in high school and college getting up at 4am and 5am for morning practice... I am just over it.  During HIM training I got up to run in the AM a few times when it was absolutely necessary, but I resisted it hard.  I am an evening workout person.

Well, when I planned out my half training, I realized that unless I wanted to give up Wed night masters swimming, my Wed pace runs have to happen in the AM.  And if I do pace runs Wed AMs, I need to do Tues runs in the AM too, so they're not 12 hrs apart.  And then Thurs would probably be better in the AM too, although not mandatory.  (But masters swimming, I can't quit you!)

So I decided I would aim for T-W-Th mornings.  Th can optionally be at night.  But I am two mornings in a row into it, and so far so good.

I hereby give myself a (star).  Actually, I totally used it to justify $250 last night for a new Garmin to replace my dead 405.  If my ass is getting out of bed for this, I want numbers!

Woohoo! I hate getting up early, but I love going into work knowing I have already worked out.

I love knowing my workout is done for the day before I get to work. It stresses me out to know that I have another item on my "to do" list after work.

Great job! Jealous of your new Garmin!

Good for you! I am a former morning work out-"er"...now a lunchtime exerciser thanks to my new schedule post-baby. I miss my AM workout and feeling accomplished before I leave for work in the AM

Nice! I can't work out in the early mornings now that the kids are back in school. I miss it!

Nice job. New gear always gets me going. I have come to love the solace of my morning workouts, but getting out of bed is still rough at 5:05. I just have to remind myself it will suck just as much an hour later and I will feel like crap for missing my workout - it works 95% of the time.

Nicely done! I'm having a hard time dragging my ass to the pool anytime BUT mornings lately. Evenings just seem to be such a time suck. And I am so TOTALLY not a morning person.

[sadlebred]

You have my admiration. I cannot get up that early to workout.

[MrsE]

I am an evening run / workout girl too. I admire your early morning success!

I feel like my day would be more efficient if I worked out in the morning (and save on duplicate showerings), but I just. Don't. Wanna. Maybe one day I will magically become a morning person.

This. Totally this. It is so true, too! (usually).

[kams]

Good for you!! I'm an early am workout person - I love getting home before my family wakes up!

[libbygrl109]

Very nice job! I know I'm be so much better off when I get it done in the morning, but I just can't do it lately. I'm an afternooner, too.

[Susie]

Yay, positive reinforcement!

[labbie]

Great job!  and good for you re. getting yourself the Garmin (imo, morning workout peeps deserve whatever it takes to get ya going that early).
