4:30 wake up call

(Turn your sound on to make this post a 2D experience!)

It's 4:30 am and I am dragging myself out of bed. I experienced this morning how quiet a college town is at 4:30am. As I got in my workout clothes and went to my car, it was pure silent bliss. I can't remember the last time I heard pure silence here in Rexburg. It was nice.

I drive the literal 2 blocks to the gym (that's how lazy I've gotten) and I arrive in the PERFECT parkng spot, which would only happen at 5:00 am when me and the janitor are literally the only ones awake. So I go inside and change clothes into the official HART clothing. You have to wear the HART clothes to work out there. I rent them for free every time, too cheap to buy them. So I lag myself down to the cardio area. The TV's hadn't even turned on yet. I was literally the ONLY one there! So I jump on the elliptial and I just go. It was so hard. I have not worked out first thing in the morning in a long time. Usually I go right after lunch, and with no food in me and just waking up it was really hard to go, but I went.

Since this morning was especially difficult, I played the song you are hearing now probably a solid 5 times in a row. Literally. I couldn't get my but to move so this song was encouraging me the entire way. What an interesting morning.

woohoo! I am dancing in my seat just hearing this song! Throughout 4 years of college I never bought the clothes. Always rented. Plus then you don't have to do the laundry :) Browns we are cheap...except Dad.
