Day 3 - The First Day Waking Up Early

So I thought that my training as a crew ninja would help me with waking up early, but I didn't realize how soft I've gotten in the past few months. I ended up sleeping an hour later than my alarm. Pathetic, Mark. Simply pathetic.

But I did get off my ass and work out. I erged on a screen-less erg again for 20 minutes while I watched recap of March madness games. I also lifted a little and tried to work out the guns a little, but I felt disgusting and decided to call it early and walk it off. Overall, not a real impressive day. But I am not one to let this slow me down. I need to stay strong.

Tonight I have to pick up a friend at 12:40 AM at the airport and although I am excited to pick up my buddy Mike, I am not excited to go to sleep so late considering I want to start this new habit of being a morning person.

I've realized that when I stay up late and sleep in, I'm not tired in the evening and I get bored. And when I get bored I get lonely and that is never fun. I am a social butterfly and always feel like I should be doing something active. So this boredom at night is depressing. I need to wake up early and get into the habit of being tired all day. I'm used to that and I like it. At least now I'll have more time for naps.
