I Think Hell Just Froze Over...
Tuesday, April 22, 2008
I remember reading a quote from Jennifer Aniston once where she said that she can't wait to get up in the morning, every morning. This was something I could never come close to relating to, much less understand. Yet, at 5:30 this morning, I was wide awake, waiting until I could get out of bed. What?! Yes. Waiting. For no particular reason. Just felt like getting up and getting at the day.
So. Weird. I don't know that I've ever -- ever -- felt like that before in my life. Mornings for me = dread. They hurt. A whole lot.
But today didn't. At all. And so, I headed to the pool. A 300, then 8x100, and then 2x300 all knocked off before 7:15 this morning. Not fast, but steady. Respectable. And this after a 1-hour personal training session last night that kicked my ass and left me wondering how I was going to make it through the 4-mile run I had afterwards (I did, although it wasn't pretty).
Whether it's a wrinkle in the time-space continuum or some other weirdness in the universe, I kind of hope it keeps happening. If this is what it feels like to be a morning person, I could definitely get on board.

I think you were just revved up after all the Boston hype yesterday. You wanted to get your workout on, totally normal I think - for a seasoned athlete like yourself. You just aren't giving yourself enough credit as such. :)

I am the complete opposite, I LOVE my mornings! It is when I am most creative, alert, and ready to take on any workout or work project. Now if you ask me to be creative anytime after 6pm, there is absolutely no way (ok I could pull it out from somewhere, but I wouldn't like it).
Let us know how tomorrow morning is for you. I'll tell ya how tonight at 8pm is for me. :)
Hope all is well with you...Jen - At 4/23/2008 1:59 PM Kelly said...

way to go!! I love morning workouts, I feel a bit smug when I get to work thinking, "i've already done more today than most!"

Uh yeah. So this would make you my new hero. 'Cause if I ever actually opened my eyes before 7am, its usually just to make sure I was still breathing, then to conk out for another hour (at least). It most certainly not to get up and head to the (gasp!) pool.
Good gosh.
But nicely done.
