It was early. It was dark. It was cold. It was snowing.

That describes the situation as I pulled off my driveway this morning.  I was leaving early, in order to get to the pool and complete my swim, before starting work for the day.

I train for triathlon a lot, and people often ask how I fit it all in.  The reason I am able to do so many workouts, is the fact that I absolutely love doing them.  The whole process of training, and trying to get better at this sport, is a joy for me.  When you truly enjoy something, then you find the necessary time to do it.

So, while it’s not always easy to drag myself out of bed early on a winter morning, I still do it.  Getting up early is easier on some days than others, but one way or another, I am able to do it about 99% of the time.

Occasionally, on these early morning sessions, you get rewarded by a special workout.  I had one of those today.  I felt super strong in the pool and had one of my best (and fastest) swims in quite a while.

When you love the process, you find the time to do it…
