The daily routines of a sportswoman

Janet is an athlete, and she wakes up at 4:30 am every weekday morning. She spends the first 30 minutes reading
and then 15 minutes meditating. At 5:15 am Janet checks her email for only 30 minutes and then goes for her first
run of the day. She runs for an hour and a half along the lake near her house. After running, Janet has a shower
and then prepares breakfast for her family, which is usually cereal and fruit. However, she occasionally has a less
healthy breakfast.

She usually finishes breakfast at around 8 am. If it is a weekday, she always leaves the house at 8:20 and goes to
training. Her training starts at 9 am, and she needs 30 minutes to drive to the gym. She trains for 3 hours with her
team and then goes home for lunch. She always eats a very big and healthy lunch. As soon as she finishes lunch,
she has a nap for one hour.

After her nap, she likes to go for a walk with her son around the lake and look at nature. She sometimes reads or
meditates at the lake in the afternoon. In the evening, during the week, she meets with friends or goes to the
cinema with her husband Mike and her son Sean.

She typically goes to bed at 9 pm because she prefers to be awake in the morning than at night. She sometimes
falls asleep listening to music, but she never watches the television or reads anything on her tablet. She always
makes sure her alarm is set and is almost always asleep by 10:15 pm.
