Starting this morning Kim and I are going to be heading to the gym before work. I’ve thought about trying to do this many times before and the last straw occurred last night. We went to the gym at our normal time (between 5:00 and 5:30) after work, and there were no available treadmills, even the ellipticals were all taken. We eventually got on a couple of the ellipticals, but the treadmills never really opened up. I thought the fad of everyone working out would be ending with their short lived new years resolutions but apparently it’s time for people to do things for Lent. Anyway, it was decided that we would start morning workouts. I think we are going to try to go everyday too. We’ll run 3 days a week and do some lifting the other 2 days. We woke up at 5:30ish this morning and were able to get to work before 8:00 still. Before today, we were getting up at 6:00, so there really isn’t that big of a change except for we will now have extra free time after work. We can go to all the happy hours we want and eat dinner as early as we want. I haven’t found any downsides to this new plan yet, but only time will tell…

I am finally putting a new song of the moment on my site. Sorry for the huge delay, but we’ve been busy. One CD that I haven’t stopped listening too in quite some time is the new Ray LaMontagne disc, Trouble. It is mellow disc, but the amazing part is this guys voice. I highly recommend picking up the CD or at least downloading my new song of the moment. The song is “How Come” from a demo disc, which is slightly different from the version on the CD. Check it out!

    your dad ran 18 miles on the bike trail this past Sunday (training for the pig of course) he said there was still some slippery spots from all the snow and ice we have had…he’s hoping the snow stays away!!! good luck with your new work out plan! I remember the days in high school when you got up earlier than that to go to hockey practice!!!

    Two days down, still liking it so far. Morning practices weren’t that bad, but waking up at 4:30 in the morning was horrible. I’ll never forget doing that 3 days a week…

    I was curious if Dad was running the pig. I think we are going to be coming into town that weekend and running the 5K with Kim’s family. I think her dad, Chris and Chip are all running, maybe more. Wanna do it???
