Sometimes craziness strikes me and I push myself to attend work out classes at 6am even though I went to bed late. Then their are times that I might be going completely insane and attend two classes. Unfortunately, they never fit back to back and I have a large lag time in between. The combination of lack of sleep and early wake up made it clear that I needed caffeine.
At 8am, I was able to avoid the morning rush. The store was almost full, but I found a spot to sit and read the newspaper. A grande Americano will only set you back $2 and change while not ruining all the efforts of the gym. Passing up on those pastries prove to be difficult, but a sugar spike was not on my agenda. At this point, the cashier could guess that I was struggling to not give in. She didn't push it and I was in the clear.
The staff members are efficient. A second after my money was in the register, my coffee was on the counter. With the mellow sounds of Seal drifting above, I was ready to pick up and head off to yoga.
