This morning I woke up about an hour before my alarm was supposed to go off and couldn't fall back asleep. So I exercised. I'm sorry WHAT?! Who am I?! Over the summer I'd set my alarm early to get my ass up for a run before the heat got oppressive, but now that fall is in full swing and I have class and obligations in the morning, I've moved my workouts to the afternoon.
Back to this fine morning, though. As I was laying in bed realizing that I was not falling back to sleep, a little voice creeped into my brain that said "go for a run." That stupid voice got me out of bed and running into the 38 degree morning. I actually don't mind this weather for a run, although I should have brought gloves (I wore capris and a long sleeve shirt and was warm enough, I just have the circulation of an 80 year old and my hands get real frozen real fast). Surprisingly, I felt pretty good during this run; usually morning runs are a drag for me.
Of course, the best moment was when I finished. The saying "you'll never regret a workout" is 1 million percent true. Morning workouts are rad once you've finished them and don't have to think about it for the rest of the day. To be honest, all workouts are rad once you've finished them. The other night I was on my way back from a long day in Boston and did NOT want to go to the gym (side note: I hate the gym, I'd much rather go for a run outside, but I like to do some strength training and it's the best place for it). I knew I had to go, and came home to my roommate headed out the door to the gym. So I went. And I did not enjoy myself too much. And I felt fantastic after! Endorphins are crazy man.
Speaking of the gym and working out and whatnot, I think I am going to do a "How to Lose the Freshman 15" post in the near future. There are literally millions of these on the internet, but hey, as someone who successfully lost (and kept off) the F15 why not add mine to the pile? Is that something that anyone would be interested in? Let me know!
