I get there at quarter to 5.

You're coming in, I'm going home.

That's a great question.

Going to the gym early, first thing for me, is a rehearsal for when I get home and I go sit at the keyboard and I actually have to face the resistance of working that day, right?

So to me, the gym is about something that I don't want to do.

I hate to get up that early in the morning and get there.

It's something that is going to hurt me.

Right?

We all know about that.

And it's something that I'm afraid of because, as you know, there are all kinds of ways you can hurt yourself and embarrass yourself and so on and so forth.

But having done that in the morning – so it's – I've got like –

I think we have a mutual friend in Randy Wallace, right?

Do we have?

Yeah.

Randy has this thing, Randall Wallace, who wrote Braveheart.

And his secretary directed that and many others.

He has a thing in the morning that he calls little successes.

And what he's trying to do to build momentum for when he's actually going to sit down and write is, you know, achieve success.

Something that he can say, okay, I did something good here.

So going to the gym for me is that.
