4:45am start today. Earlier than usual. But not as early as I had planned. I set my alarm for 4:15am. But for the first time since I started my routine, I consciously hit the snooze button. 2x. So not happy with myself for that. Still I know why and I know how to overcome that. I went to sleep too late. Tonight I will go to sleep on time and tomorrow no excuses I’ll be up at 4am.

The good thing is that at 4:45am I ran through my routine. Cold water with vinegar. Boil water in the electric kettle. Pour coffee (decaf) in the filter. Drink my water. Go to the restroom. Wash my face. Get dressed. And grab my stuff to head out the door. I didn’t even pour the hot water over the coffee. I just left it there and took off.

Got to the gym by 5:02am. My earliest start so far! Today was supposed to be a lifting day. It kinda was. I ran through shoulder rehab. Then ran through about 40 minutes of sets for my chest, shoulders, lats, and legs. With sets of sit ups and side bends in between to rest.

Finished off with cardio. 20 minutes on the elliptical machine. It was still pretty dark outside as I looked out the window (the elliptical machine and treadmills face out the window). Then a mile on the treadmill. Easy pace about 4.5mph to about 5mph. Got a light sweat. Definitely not drenched like yesterday. Took me about 12 minutes to finish the mile. And done. Not too worried that it was a light workout, because I’m planning to workout again at lunch.

Decided to jog back home. Not really decided. Just started jogging and kept doing it. That got me sweating a little bit more. Sit ups. Shave. Shower. Get dressed.

Now it’s time to drink my coffee and finish writing my daily blog post. 🙂

Have a great day.
