Almost every type of athlete has experienced the pain of morning workouts at least once in their athletic career. Luckily for us, Michael Scott from "The Office" explains the pain and torture we go through for the sports we love.
When the alarm goes off. You realize you have to leave your warm, comfy bed to go workout. On top of that you got maybe six hours of sleep if you were lucky due to the crazy amount of schoolwork you have.
On the way to the workout. You never give up hope that a workout might miraculously get cancelled at the last minute and you can go back to bed. Even though that’s never happened. Ever.
The workout begins. So it wasn’t cancelled like you had hoped and now its starting. You make it through the warmup and you think you can do it. Then the real workout starts. Suddenly you only have this strong feeling of dislike for your strength trainer.
Post workout. So you somehow made it through the workout alive. Now your trainer is super full of energy and reminding your team of how happy you all should be that its only 7a.m. and you’ve already completed your workout. They also insist that you respond and say how glad you are about getting up before the sun and that you enjoyed the workout. But this is how you really feel about it.
Class. You’ve already been up for a couple hours and your peers stumble into your 8:00 a.m. like they just rolled out of bed. You despise them a little, but your feeling okay. Then you finish one class and realize you still have like three more. You then realize you have no idea what your professors are talking about, its like you’re incapable of comprehending what is going on.
By the end of the week. At this point you’ve probably had multiple morning workouts, late nights of studying, and exams during the day. By the time Friday hits you feel like you can’t go on. Almost like there is no more energy left. But thankfully it’s the weekend.
