When I tell people that I get up early to run before work, they frequently give me some story about how they can't do that because they are not a morning person, or something like, I just can't get out of bed in the morning to work out. Well, I've got news for you, I don't like getting out of warm sheets, next to my favorite person in the world, to go out into the elements and run either. In fact, it is a HUGE battle to do so. Especially when I haven't been really consistent in my morning workouts. And this morning I lost the battle. I was even more upset when I rolled over and discovered that Yvette had won her battle and was off on a run with her friends. So now I feel like an even bigger failure.
The good news is I have been through this before and know some tricks to win this battle. I also know that after a few workouts, back-to-back, it becomes a whole lot easier.
Accountability is a big trick- it is actually how Yvette won this morning.
I won't stand someone up that I am supposed to meet and will force myself out of bed. Yvette had friends meeting her this morning.
Since I don't have any current training partners- I will find some really quickly- this blog is going to have to serve as my accountability partner. I will commit that tomorrow morning I am going to get up and train for an hour before work. I'll do it because I don't want to repeat the title of this post tomorrow. Hint: if I don't post tomorrow it means I didn't workout either. See how you are helping me out.
I'll either run for an hour or ride my bike on the trainer in the garage for an hour if Yvette has left with her friends to run because we can't leave the kids home alone.
