Re: How do you like to start your day?
Honestly, I do my workouts when I can make the time. For most of the year that's around noon on weekdays when I have my planning period/lunch break from teaching. A good workout followed by a light lunch seems to suit me (as does a late afternoon run before dinner on weekends). This summer I had to get up at 5 to run and it was pretty rough. I don't recommend early morning workout since the body is usually rather tight and it takes a good deal of time to properly stretch. I admit that there is a certain satisfaction to showing up for work knowing that you've already logged in serious milage (especially when you get to see how many of your coworkers need Starbuck's to wake themselves up), but I prefer the quality of workouts that occur later in the day. So I guess I like to start my day off with a hot shower followed by a bowl of yogurt, fruit, and kashi. On Saturday I begin the day by bringing my wife a homemade latte and the newspaper while she's still in bed, but that's a totally different story...
