Excitement before exercising

Lately just before I go out for a run I have started to get all excited about it. It usually takes a little while to get prepared - getting proper running clothes and shoes on, choose running music, drink water, go to the bathroom, fill up water bottles, drink some more water etc. And during this time, this excitement builds up like it's something huge that's gonna happen. As a musician, I get this right before a gig, but I never thought I could feel this for anything other than music.

I've just started doing the Power 90, and I'm starting to get the same kind of feeling for that as well. Anybody else feel this?

Love

    Yes, this happens while I prep for runs, too. Then I don't preform well during the run and I get totally sad about it! But I feel good that I did something anyway. :)

    I love going to the gym. I currently only do about 45 minutes to an hour and I force myself to stop. Mainly because I don't want to do too much an hurt myself. My legs are still pretty sore and burning but the gym in 3 weeks has became a habit for me. I look forward to my time there.

    I know the feeling exactly...I experienced yesterday before getting to my Zumba classes. Definitely a great thing! Enjoy.

    I look forward to my run or ride every day. my mind and my body just want it. I don't even think about it as exercise anymore.

    I'm super pumped about my yoga class tonight. It's the only exercise I truly look forward to.

    Amazing! I'm glad I'm not alone, cause it's a feeling you want more people to have :) It's strange (and great) how something I never thought I would do can feel so awesome and be so addictive.
