3/8 Small victory

4:30 am came VERY early today and I just wasn't up to ride on the trainer.  I was cold and cranky and just wanted to crawl back in bed.  But, I didn't.

I went and made some coffee and grabbed a bottle of water and sat down and took a deep sniff of the coffee.  Not much is better than the aroma of great coffee early and it put me in better spirits.  I sat there with the cup of coffee to my nose breathing in the wonderful aroma.  I caught up on work emails and realized it was 6:15a.  I had an hour ride scheduled and I had exactly an hour to get my ride in so I grabbed my laptop with my Spinnervals DVD and ran to the barn where my trusty stead awaited.  An hour later I'd put in a great workout and was proud that I didn't give up this workout.  I ran to the house grabbed a banana and water and chaueffered the kids off to school.  After my last drop off I went ahead and did the day's running interval workout.  Though it was VERY windy I had a great run and got my workouts in.

In years past I would have given up.  I would have said, "not today!".  But, not this time.  This time I didn't blow the workouts off.  This has been a growing trend because I've not blow off any of the workouts and there have been many occasions when I just didn't want to, but did it anyways.  Maybe not the time I had planned, or where I planned but I've gotten it done.   I CAN DO THIS!
