creature of habit
It's no secret that I hate traffic. Actually, you could say I hate large groups of people in general. Which is why I wake up promptly at 4am every morning in order to sneak into the gym and get to work before most people begin thinking about waking up.
I've found that working out in the quiet of the early morning is much better than struggling through a midafternoon, post-work gym visit. Maybe it's because I'm not as drained after a long day of work, or maybe it's because I'm not as self conscious as people watch me struggle through each set. God forbid I have to do cardio. I'd rather shrivel up and die than run in front of people.
But in any case, it's become a habit, almost an addition to get to the gym before anybody else does. And I've been getting up earlier and earlier to do so. First 5:30, then 5, then 4:30, and now 4:00 am is when I groggily roll out of bed and wonder why the hell I do this.
It's cause of the really attractive Icelandic woman who goes to the gym at 5:15.
