Hayley and I got all dressed for the gym on Tuesday early evening and left in great spirits ready for a good workout. Well, I circled the parking lot three times looking for a space. Also not really feeling really safe because there is one of those portable Police skyscrapers in the parking lot. Finally, we see a spot and a guy puts on his blinker and I let him take it. Now, I was closer and I didn't have to take a left to get to it like him, so I definitely could have taken it. However, I really like my car and the last thing I want is some old man key scratching it because I stole his parking spot.
So anyway, we circled one more time and my daughter says "You know....I don't really feel like working out now. I mean if we can't find a parking spot, how are we going to find any empty equipment." With that being said, we left.
So lately I've been going to the gym in the mornings. Now, I'm a morning person. I wake up at 5:30 or 6a.m.; however, I don't like to move that early. My idea is to lay in bed and watch Squawkbox for an hour, check my emails, and read the news.
But, because the gym is packed in the evenings, I've been dragging myself out of bed and going in the mornings. So I want to tell you the great things about morning workouts.
- You can get a parking spot on the 2nd row.
- You can get on weights and cardio equipment without a problem.
- Everyone else looks like crap too.
- The people in the gym are serious. There are no women with fake eyelashes and matching gym clothes lounging on the equipment. I find this very refreshing.
- I get that feeling. You know the one on Friday afternoons when you've worked all week and ready to party for the weekend? When I work out in the mornings, I feel like the rest of the day I can do whatever I want and I'm not dreading "having to work out later".

Oh, and what is up with people now taking their tablets to the gym?
