Heart-Pumpingly Early

April 24, 2012 at 8:03 am

After a day of waking up to my alarm clock as I should, my insomnia is back! I rolled over and immediately moaned, “Nooo” when I saw the time this morning: 6:16. Boo.

But instead of lying around for an aimless hour this time, I pulled on my compression socks and dragged myself to the gym for some early morning cardio.

This was my first time ever going to my gym on a weekday morning and it was more crowded than I would’ve expected. Still significantly less people than the after-work horde I usually see though. I ran a mile on the treadmill and then got on the rowing machine for twenty minutes. I hadn’t eaten anything before leaving for the gym so I started losing fuel about halfway through my rowing session. I powered through anyway though. Note to self to eat something in the future.

Overall, the workout got my morning off to a good start! I may need to start consciously planning to do this more. And no ear pain so far, which I’m taking as a good sign. :)

Have a nice day!
