It wasn't so much that I felt guilty, I'd been staying up late for NBA games and really felt (in a cost/benefit analysis) that sleeping in would be the right thing to do....but my body just wasn't having it, lol!
So I learned my lesson, unless completely wiped out, I will just get up early and work out.

Quick note on the NBA, you can call me the World's Biggest Fairweather Fan:
I became a huge Chicago Bulls fan around 1989 when I was 10 years old because I was getting into basketball and, of course, Michael Jordan was amazing. I stopped following the NBA after Jordan's 1998 retirement. After 13 years of not caring, I start paying attention and hear that the Bulls (after dwelling in the cellar of the league for a while) were good again. Then Derrick Rose is announced as the youngest MVP ever, well, I got a little excited and starting watching....I started watching Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals. So I am bad luck I guess, because the Bulls have dropped 3 games in a row since I started watching, lol.
