UGhhhh the drastic change in temperature has given me a cold or brought on some heinous allergies, they pretty much feel the same so who knows. Needless to say finding the drive to get up and exercise all congested like I am, was not easy; But I did it.
I find when I'm having those days going in to mindless drone mode helps to get the job done. Flop out of bed, put on exercise clothes, stop thinking of all the reason why not, open the door, and just walk. Randomly just walk with no direction. Eventually the heart rate will come up your mind will clear and you will realise how good it feels to just be moving. The aches and pains of sleep will start to melt and you will be ready for the day.
I took an uphill walk, totally panting from the speed-walking up the hill. At the top some deer spotted me and went bounding through the woods. I love all the critters I get to see everyday. I found my favorite stump at the top of the hill and used it as a stretching aid. Once I completed this little warm up I jogged back down and popped in a tape. (I wasn't sure when baby was going to wake up and didn't want to be too far away when he did. He ended up pulling one of his hit and miss sleep in till 11am days so I got a pretty good workout in.)
