This morning at 4:25am, I awoke from a strange dream where I was fighting my alarm clock. The dream went on, for what seemed like, all night. I was pressing every button that I could find trying to make it stop its incessant beeping, and even when I did find a button that worked, it was only temporary. I think it is time to relocate the clock to the other side of the room.
When I finally got out of bed and figured out that I had to leave for work, I did not think that there was any chance that I could make it to work and have enough time to do my routine. On my way out the door, I started trying to figure out where I could make the time to squeeze it in. I ended up settling on the idea that if I can make it to the gym by 5am(traffic allowing) I could at least get 30-45 minutes, if I am lucky. I thought about how the poor 5 o'clock spectator would not get to see the news at all during his workout, that is, if I made it to the gym before him. I beat him to the gym and started the routine and before I finished the warm-up, he arrived. This time, to my surprise, instead of going to the elliptical machine as he normally does, he decided that he wanted to join in for plyo. Now I am under observation, even more so. Oh well, I was actually somewhat relieved because I knew then that he wanted to watch my routine, and was not eagerly awaiting my departure. Out of this, I was able to find the time to finish the routine, I just had to rush my shower before my shift started. The new participant seemed to get more than he had expected out of the routine, and seemed to enjoy the added workout.
Other than my late start and my active observer, I experienced another issue. I was having respiratory problems from the start of the routine. I am asthmatic, but I do not normally have problems unless I am sick.(Second indicator?) Of course, as fate would have it, I did not bring my meds today. I normally have my meds with me, just in case, but not today. So I spent the first couple water-breaks looking though my gym bag until finally came to grip with that fact that I did not bring them. Everything ended up okay, but I feel that I would have been able to go longer and harder through this routine, if I had brought them. In the condition that I was in, I had to closely monitor just how poorly I was breathing, and adjust my intensity accordingly. However, toward the end I did seem to notice it not being as much of a problem. I am not sure how, but I am thankful. This was still a great workout!
