Actually, I was a little late today.
I'm normally on it by 6:15...
For me, it's simple: if I don't get my workout in before work, I'll never get it in. As an attorney, sometimes 4pm quickly turns into 8pm and there's no way I can work out at 8pm and still see my family/get enough sleep, etc. So, when a crisis hits at 4pm, I don't lament losing my workout for the day (and thus feeling tempted to cheat).
Aside from the work issue, I find that I eat better when I've worked out because I don't want to "undo" all that hard work in the morning.
I go to bed around 10, and get up at 6. I will confess, however, that I am fortunate enough to have a Stairmaster and elliptical in my basement. Although the Y is just down the street, there's nothing like rolling out of bed, putting sneakers on, walking downstairs and putting my ipod on. I will say, also, that doing an early workout in the spring/summer is *much* easier than in the winter when it's dark out until 7 or 7:30...
Speaking of ipod, I've discovered how to transfer TV shows from my Tivo to ipod. So, every morning, I'm watching last night's TV. (e.g. this morning I watched last night's episode of the Office).
So, in a longwinded, roundabout answer, that's my early morning workout background
