As I was doing my W1D3 of C25K this morning it occurred to me that I'm crazy. What the heck am I doing? I'm up at 5:21 am on a SATURDAY to purposely put my body through torture.

But then I thought about how we must ALL be crazy. I only saw 1 other runner out there and I felt good enough to wave to her. Obviously SHE'S crazy too! :) But I decided I LIKE being crazy! I love getting up early to get myself into shape. I love feeling like I'm getting healthier, more in shape, and sexier!

So why am I crazy?

- Getting up at 5:21 am on a SATURDAY to run
- Riding my recumbent exercise bike at 8:45 pm on a Friday night because it just didn't feel right to take a day off from exercise
- Signing up for a 5K to run at the end of July even though I can barely run 60 seconds at a crack right now
- Giving up Pop Tarts for breakfast
- Cutting back on my Mike's Hard Lemonades on the weekends because they're too many calories!

How are you crazy?

    Getting up at 7 to exercise (not as early as you, OP, but I'm a grad student and that's usually when we go to sleep...) because it's going to be in the 90s later that day.

    I live in Spain and don't eat the ubiquitous white bread (though I do indulge in ice cream now and then).

    Giving up alcoholic drinks in general (but especially crazy in Spain) because I don't want to drink my calories.

    Searching out health food stores in madrid like a madwoman and trying to recreate the healthy recipes I'd make in the U.S.
