yuk.....one of those mornings

[kariev]

hey ladies. i'm a morning exerciser but today was one of those morning that getting up was like pulling teeth. my alarm went off at 5a.m. i laid there debating with myself if i should just go back to sleep but eventually got out of bed at 5:15. today is my steady state cardio day of a 45 min run on the treadmill. i usually do this at 2% incline and 6.5 mph. i just couldn't get into it today. i felt like i was hitting a wall the entire time. At the 20 min mark i had to take the speed down to 6.0 and even that was hard. normally i have no problem but today was terrible. not to mention the time crawled by. but i stuck it out b/c i knew if i quit early i would be pissed at myself. i've never been happier to see the 45 min mark on the timer i hate days like this!!!!

LOL - same here. There are few days where I just get up and go, I lay in bed watching the minutes pass on my alarm, debating whether or not to get up.

Good job on finishing your cardio session!!!

I know, its a mental tug o war on some days. I find with myself, not o let myself "think about it" for too long, just go through the motions of getting dressed, etc....once I start it usually is fine.

But keep in mind, our bodies are not machines, we will have those days that are not "record-breakers" and workouts that feel no matter what, hard and like they we are accomplishing nothing! Have those days all the time, and I don't workout at 5 am!

Thats why tomorrow is always another chance right? The point is, you did it, that is quite an accomplishment!
