Meghan and I met at the gym this morning before work for a run. (alternating walk, run, sprint...over time we will increase the run part) She shared with me her goal of running the St. Patrick's day 5k, which sounds great - well, except for being in Boston on a weekend to run at 7:00 a.m.
In any case, we realized one reason we are a good exercise pair. Meghan is great at getting me to show up. If I know she's meeting me at the gym, I'm about 90% more likely to motivate to head out at 6:00 am, dressed for exercise, even though hitting snooze is more immediately rewarding.
What do I bring to the table? Well, if I'm going to drag my ass to the gym that early, you'd better believe I'm going make that workout count. So, my part of the bargain is to make sure we both push hard to have an excellent work out.
I'd like to think Meghan is as appreciative of my efforts to push hard as I am for her pushing to *get* there and do it.
And when Sarah E joins us, then it's really magic, because she brings the fun! :D
It's is so great to have workout buddies. Thanks, guys!!
