Pre-coffee morning

Coffee is a major staple in my day.

I got up at 6 a.m. today to go to the gym.  Everything I've read in every health magazine, ACSM's handbook, and on the interwebs tells me exercise is supposed to give you energy and help you wake up. 

This is total crap.  And I have a Masters Degree in Exercise Physiology.
I can barely tie my shoes or speak more than a caveman grunt until I've had my morning cup of coffee...or two.

I didn't even start drinking coffee until I had to open the pool at the Mason YMCA when I was a lifeguard in graduate school.

"Shawn, I know it's 5:30 in the morning but (insert name here) hasn't come in and I have 5 people giving me the evil eye.  Can you PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE come over and open the pool until (insert name here) can get here?  I mean, I tried calling and they didn't answer but...um, please just hurry."

Thank God there was coffee in the lobby when I got to work on those early mornings.

Today, coffee is a regular addiction for me.  And pizza.

So, can you give up coffee for a day and donate that $5 you would have spent on a Jumbo Chocolate Triple Caffeinated Super Whip Latte with Sprinkles to send some very deserving kids to Disney World?
