Lunchtime Workouts

My best time of the day to work out is mid-day.  I'm unmotivated by the time I get off work more often than not, but I can push through a workout about 70% of the time.  I've never been a morning person, although I do enjoy the feeling of getting my workouts done before anything else, the bed has been winning every day lately.  Mid-day, I have the energy for it and my mind is ready.  Plus, it's a nice break from work.  Today, I got in a lunchtime workout...the first in a long time:

1500m swim:
500m freestyle 10min
500m kickboard 15 min
500m freestyle 10 min
Not too shabby for the first time back in the pool in a year.  I kicked myself a little because I could've gone another 100m and made it a mile.  But, there's always tomorrow!

3 mile run in 27:00

Quick shower, lunch at desk!

Welcome to a few days/week during my summer.  The local pool is just minutes down the street from work and there's a treadmill here so it works out well for me!

I feel so good right now, even with the work day is wrapping up.  Endorphins really are the greatest!

What is your best time of the day for workouts??

That is seriously impressive! I should challenge myself to do a work out at lunch instead of just going home and bumming on the couch for a little bit. Hmmm you may have inspired me.
