It's 5AM. My 10 old son wakes up in less than two hours. Let's see what I can get done. Step one, it's early. Let's get some caffeine in. Step two, let's get some carbs in before the workout. Can't go wrong with some sour strips. Step three, make sure Veronica wakes up to a clean and unpacked kitchen. Step four, let's head out to the garage. Go get the workout in. We have programmed a back and bicep lift, and we're getting a three mile run-in. Let's go. 06:30. Little man is still sleeping. Let's get moving. It's mile one. Mile two. That's mile three. Woo. 7AM. Let's go see if little man's awake. We got back before little man woke up. See you guys in the next one.
