Not a morning person

I attempted to work out before work this morning. Mind you, I have to be at work by 8am. By 7:15 am, I had been riding the rollers for an hour! I'm still convinced that working out in the morning is not all it's cracked up to be--read, an insane thing to do. I've heard it all--It's so nice to have the training out of the way; it's so nice to come home in the evening and not have to jump on the rollers; you feel so energized in the morning after working out. I'm not feeling any of it. I'll give myself a pat on the back for getting it done when that's the only time of the day that's avaiable for training (like today), but otherwise, I will avoid it at all costs ;)

It takes me longer to warm up in the morning; thus, a 60 minute ride turns into 20 minutes of warmup and 40 minutes of riding instead of 10-15 minutes of warmup. I am unfueled and dehydrated from going 8 hours without food or beverage, so I don't feel very energetic. Then I have to rush to get ready and off to work, and as I'm sitting in my car, I don't feel that much more energized than when I don't work out in the mornings. I just can't wait for the afternoon when I totally crash. I don't know how people do it. Morning people are crazy! Though I wouldn't mind being one myself. But for now, I'll stick to my evening workouts.
