Frustration!!
Ah, this morning I really didn't want to get up...but you know, I needed my workout, and hey, hottie might be there right? (and tomorrow I might not get up for the gym because I'm taking tomorrow off work and I'm debating if I will go in at the normal time or not) So I get there and there are people standing around outside...gym opens at 5. I was even there earlier this morning that I have been before (5:10) and it wasn't open...someone had called other clubs and someone called back and said he was calling others, then he called again and said he had tried numerous places and no one was getting back to him. At 5:50 I gave up and came home and will be at work really early today. It sucks...I've been partly doing the morning or after work workout to conserve gas, but I think today I'll run to the gym during lunch and get my strength workout in at least. Sigh...

Ode to the Hottie at the Gym
I'm finding it's sometimes a bit easier to get up and go to the gym in the mornings, knowing, that on occasion, I get a chance to see you...call it motivation!!
Yes, there is a very cute boy that I see, and I never know when I might run into him. But it's only in the mornings...I wonder if it's because he slightly reminds me of a guy that has made half hearted attempts at pursuing me (I say half hearted because he has asked me if I'd like to go on a date, has my number, says he will call and doesn't, I see him out and he tells me he's glad to see me, but never follows through...and when I met him, I figured out he is out of a recent relationship, but he said it's over and done, he's fine, but yet one time we were supposed to go out, he says he didn't call because of stuff with her, this was two weeks after my asking him about it and him guaranteeing me he was done with it...now I asked about it because I've been burned on this exact thing before so I asked and was lied to...sigh). Anyway, it's fun to look at the guy at the gym...nothing will ever come of that and I can just admire from afar (I always wonder at all the things that say a place to meet people is at the gym because I for one am not at the gym to meet people, I don't primp before going, I go with headphones so I can focus, I'm there to workout NOT meet people!!).

9 Minutes
Apparently I’m good enough to get out of bed and be ready to go out the door in 9 minutes…well, OK, it might have been 11 by the time I was actually in the car…but I was forcing myself out of bed, but accidentally hit the snooze one more time, but I rolled out of the warmth of my bed, turned on the light, put in my contacts, used the bathroom, grabbed a Lean Cuisine pizza, apple and orange and threw them into my lunch bag, went back to my room, brushed my teeth, made my bed and got dressed in my workout clothes, put my hair in a pony tail and then realized the alarm hadn’t come back on. I have a 9 minute snooze. Just as I was ready to leave, the alarm went off. I threw the book I had been reading last night into my bag, turned the alarm off and reset it for tomorrow, put on my coat and was out there door. I think that’s pretty darn good, and fast, considering it was 5:15 am!! And I didn’t make coffee (usually only do that once or twice a week, don’t want to become caffeine dependent).
This put me in the gym about 5-10 minutes earlier than normal. So instead of the 6 or so miles I might have otherwise run, I did 7…yes, 7 miles in just over an hour. Although maybe I only get 5 of those, a guy I often see at the gym (and who had asked me one day how far I had gone) told me to keep moving as he wanted 2 of my miles today. I’m contemplating a bike ride after work. We’ll see how I feel when the day is over. Part of me wants to, part of me wants to just get home (or run a few errands). Nothing on TV tonight, and doubting I’ll feel up to doing much anyway, so maybe I should just get another workout. Yesterday I was up and did 3 miles and 30 minutes of strength with 45 minutes on the bike after work. I think I’m up to about 95% from my cold. Still some running nose, a little congestion and a slight cough, but I’m feeling better.
