Settling in to a pattern

Working out 6 days a week requires a certain amount of organization.  You would think this would work incredibly well for me, but the truth is that at 4am it is easy to convince yourself that you can reschedule your day and get a couple extra hours of sleep while still sneaking the workout in before the end of the day.

A headache put me back to bed this morning and at four I thought to myself, I'll do today's double workout tomorrow and do tomorrow's single tonight after the softball game.  It wasn't until I was dragging the trainer out and double checking my cycle heart rate zones that I peaked at my workout duration and saw.... a transition workout- grrrrrreat- nothing like a trainer ride and then a run in 35 degree weather in the pitch black.

I got it done, but it reinforced that there is a reason why I need to stick to a schedule and get the workouts done.  I got lucky this time, but next time I may end up losing an entire workout because of a crappy 4am decision.  We'll see if I can do better tomorrow.... a short 5 hours from now- yee-haw! :)
