Will I or Won't I?

It’s
early morning. Very early. The alarm goes off in what seems like the
middle of the night. "You’re joking!" you say to yourself as you
fumble and grasp attempting to turn that thing off. It is at this point
the fight begins. "Will I or won’t I get up and train??".
The blankets have a firm hold and are intent on not letting go. Their
grip is intense and within seconds you already feel you lack the energy
to fight against them. Yet you are determined, and you roll-over in an
attempt to loosen the blanket’s grip. Finally you manage to
squeeze one leg free and you poke it out into the contrasting and
rather refreshing coldness. This is a crucial moment, and often it is right here that the battle is won or lost.
The blankets tighten the grip on your body, as you lay in their warm
and cosy embrace. Even tighter now, the grip is almost overwhelming as
they attempt to bring that one leg back into the comfort zone. Be
careful, these tactics employed by the blankets are not sporting and
know no bounds. Do not ever under estimate the power they possess, as
many have fallen victim to the trickery the blankets can feed your
mind. "Stay in bed a few more minutes" is the suggestion. "It will
allow you to gather more energy and catch the blankets off guard".
Beware! This usually just gives the blankets more time to twist your
thoughts and many have succumb to this tactic and are now statistics.
You can win.
A proven approach to victory is:
- Jump straight out of bed and get dressed before you even know what’s happening.
- Remember that you body adapts to what you train it to do. So train it to get up.
- Remind yourself how good it feels after your early morning training session.
- Realise that 90% of your workout consists of just turning up. The 10% that counts won’t happen without that 90%.
- Smile, because "it’s good to be alive" and you can go and train. Many can’t.
