Why is it that on Saturday’s I pop right out of bed like my butt is on fire, but Monday – Friday it’s an internal battle to get up so that I make it to work on time?
It’s weird how much I love waking up on Saturday mornings – the anticipation of a good workout makes me spring out of bed, shuffle to the kitchen for breakfast & coffee then bask in the wonderful quietness.
This morning I woke up at 5:15, shuffled into the kitchen, put my oatmeal in the microwave, started some coffee, and watched a little bit of netflix. (Have you seen the show 24 with Kiefer Sutherland? That show makes my head spin…and scares the crap out of me).
I only wear my best on Saturday’s…..
The Y doesn’t open until 7 on Saturday (which I don’t like) so I told Chris I was leaving, and he kindly told me that his work truck was parked behind me so I’d have to drive his Ford (awww darn.. ha, jk. I LOVE driving that beast). I rolled into the parking lot around 7:05, and it was almost empty. ahhh bliss! I love an empty gym.
I started with a few minutes on the Arc Trainer, followed by some foam rolling & stretching.

This morning as I was walking across the parking lot towards the gym entrance I was thinking, “man, I’m glad I’m not out running in this cold weather.”
That is weird.
I used to LOVE running in the cold. What is happening to me?
I find it fascinating how much I really don’t miss running? I thought that after a while I would miss running, and want to go back – but I don’t.
I probably couldn’t even run a mile right now, and I’m okay with that.
That’s all for today – I’m going to give Diva a bath… because giving her a haircut wasn’t enough torture for both of us
