Nothing messes up your morning like waking up and realizing your alarm was never set the night before. I am amazed how fast I can jump out of bed and rush through the fist part of my morning when I know I have lost time. I honestly didn’t know I could move that fast. Its amazing how knowing your whole morning routine is shot because of a silly little alarm. I was freaking out pretty bad and I was so frustrated with myself for forgetting such a simple task the night before. After the first sip of coffee I was able to stop for a second and get my marbles together. It’s not like you can run around with a full glass of hot coffee. You have to stop and sip. I am not a barbarian! I looked at the clock and realized I had only missed 20 minutes. After the second sip of coffee, my sanity came back to me. I am pretty sure I got my heart rate up to the acceptable speed to consider that my morning cardio. BONUS!
