It’s 4:00AM and the alarm goes off. I hit the snooze button for the second (or third) time before rolling over and crawling out of bed. I think for a brief moment what it would be like to sleep in past five, but my mind is already awake and active.
My workout is not the only thing on my mind. There’s a world of activities that must take place over the next 16 hours. And, this is where my day begins.
The morning starts slow with a ramp up of pace and intensity. With each step, each movement, the blood begins to flow, the heart begins to pound, and the mind begins to sharpen with keeneness and foresight. The mind tries to weaken as the body begins to tire. “Not today”, I tell myself again and again.
The peak. The heartbeat. The intensity. The sweat. I choose my destiny.
The day is mine.
