Work in an office that only has parking for 50% of the population and is not reasonably near mass transit, it's a race to the parking garage. I have colleagues that arrive at work by 4:45am.

Not me, but have friends who meet at a Crossfit gym for a workout that begins at 4:30. You're seeing them driving to or from their gym.

All those Metro train and bus drivers who have to pick you up for your commute.

work start at 5am at the office.

Feds with a compressed schedule--work 4 10 hour days and get one of every week.

That's DH going to get in 10 billable hours before the little league game at 5.

5am running group. would never get it done unless it was early in the morning.

To answer 12:53, I can't speak for the poster you are questioning, but I wake up for my boot camp 20 or so minutes earlier than I need to because I have asthma and have to use my nebulizer first.

My guess is that she is commuting to a gym near her work?

Maybe she goes to work from the gym and has to do all her prep (except for dressing) before she leaves for the gym.

On weekends DD "allows" me to sleep until 6:30 or 7:00 - it feels like a vacation.

Just curious, why does it take you an hour between wake-up and gym? Its not like you have to shower, right? I roll into my workout clothes and to the gym - up at 5:09, in the car by 5:21, at boot camp by 5:27.

I WAH about between 15 and 30 hours a week, but I was just thinking today on a long walk that if I were to get a 40-hour outside of the home job, I'd love one where I could work 6:30am -3pm.

Wow. What time do you go to bed at night?

Between 9:15-10:30 -- it definitely puts a damper on the evening to feel like I need to be in bed to start winding down no later than 9:30. I should say that the most days we do the boot camp in any given week is 4, usually 3 though. Otherwise I go for a run around 7:15.

Rowing.
