That's mental ...
After going to bed about 1pm after a hard evenings minimoto, I actually woke up at ~5:20 this am
and I mean wide awake
whats that all bout!?!? :shock: such that I knew it was pointless staying in bed coz Id only get back to sleep just before the alarm went off (~8 ) and that is well annoying
so I took the opportunity to miss the traffic in the morning
I got my stuff together and headed off towards the gym with the intention of killing a bit of time there before going into work (its 80% of the way to work and past the worst of the traffic)
. Now the gym opens bright and early at 6:30am
however where there was very little traffic, I realised I was going to get there about 6am
so would have ~½ hour to kill
rather than sit in the car in the dark, I donned my running shoes and shorts and went for a run at 5:54am this morning in the dark with wind and rain
I mean that is just mental!! :D
So a 40 min run I then spent about an hour or so in the gym after it opened doing a few weights, a swim (saw the sun rise whilst I was in the outdoor pool 8)), sauna and seam (to thaw back out :D) and I thought I better get moving at that point all that I still got into work about 8:15!! ... that's about when my alarm normally goes off!! :D It was actually surprising how many people were in the gym that time in the morning (I go in the evening after work, my first time before work) |
And tonight you will fall asleep in front of the TV whilst dribbling all over your shirt.

Oh yes, in answer to the title of the topic,.............That IS mental! :wink: |
Unfortunately having a desk job any exercise has to be extra curricular for me ... and as I don't want to be out of puff simply getting from the sofa to the fridge and I do have to keep ontop of 'bellys gonna get ya' battle its a means to an end for me ... it's tru as a side effect I am forced to endure watching lots of scantily clad sweaty females bending in all sorts of positions in the process, but that is a pain I am willing to endure for the greater good!! :D
But running by myself, in the dark, in the rain, on a windy morning before 6am ... I mean, whats going on with that?!?!? :D I think on a daily basis I am beginning to loose more and more of a grip on reality!! :? :shock: :D |
I know what you mean. Sometimes I look after my sisters dogs and house while she is on holiday. It involves walking them before and after work which sometimes is about 5am. Its amazing in the ******** of winter how many people walk past you cheerily yelling Morning! at you when you don't have a clue where you are as your eyes are still sealed shut with sleep!

I tried this going into Manhattan. Turns out its not as clever as it looks. The traffic at 6.30 ish was brutal, worse than at 9.00. I was so annoyed, all worked up thinking I would get a clear run in, I did some very dubious overtaking.
Yeah... so it ends up better to leave after the rush hour, and get in a little bit late. Oh well. :lol: |
