So, as noted, I'm getting on my horse to train for a half marathon in May as well as a full marathon in November. I've been getting to the gym, running, and feeling pretty decent about it (my abs being the exception right now - holy core workout) The problem is I don't want to just feel decent.
I want to feel GREAT.
The title of my blog should give away the time crunch I find myself under most days. The real problem is when I'm in school and I don't get home until 11pm. This is twice a week right now, which may not seem like that big of a deal, but it creates a bit of stress on the non school days to get my workouts in.
You (aka Brah): "Dude, you still can work out the other 5 days, stop crying about school".
Matt: "Brah, listen - sometimes there's traffic or I get stuck at work and can't get to the gym. It happens"
So with that, I've come up with a solution. I'm going to start running when I wake up at least one if not both days on school nights. This isn't exactly "discovering America" or anything, but for me it's a big change. I don't like running in the morning but I'm going to give it a shot. Even doing a 2 mile run before work is better than nothing. I really want to achieve my goals, so sometimes, as the Roots say,
"If you want to be something in life
You ain't gonna get it unless
You give a little bit of sacrifice"
Drive Slow
You are going to love morning runs before work! It sets a great tone for the day.
