I am an early riser.  When I say early, I mean really early – 4:00 or 4:30am early.  I know, it’s crazy.

When I worked for the hedge fund, I would have to get up that early to get myself to work by 6am.   You would think that because I don’t have a full-time job that I could sleep in and get some rest.   Nope, not me.

I have found that by getting up before the roosters I can get a lot of stuff done!  I can work, watch a TiVo’d show, write and more importantly, go for a run or get to Boot Camp and BACK before my family is awake.

There are some downsides to being such an early riser.   I drink way too much coffee, would trade my children for an afternoon nap, can’t stay up past 10pm and sometimes getting the mojo to go for a run is hard when I’ve been waiting for daylight for hours.

This morning, for example I’m in a quandry.  I woke up at 2:00am and was unable to get back to sleep.  I made and drank my pot of coffee, watched a show, did some work and am wrestling with whether I should go to Boot Camp or try and catch some zzz’s.

What to do, what to do…..I’ll let you know later whether sleep or the joy of getting my butt kicked by Kim won out.

Now go run (because I know you got plenty of sleep)!
