Unless you live in paradise (ahem), you are bound to come across days such as the dreary, rainy day we are having in Philly today. Not the best motivator. What's worse.. my gyms are closed due to the holiday weekend, so I can not even do that.
So, what shall I do? I know! I'll put my bike on my trainer... no, wait, it's at the bike shop getting tuned up for the season. Hmmmm... Stretching and balance ball core exercises it is! And, of course, my shoulder exercises for P/T.
Motivators on a day like today... the Ironman poster above my computer, the little notes strategically placed throughtout my apartment (and my office at Rosemont).. "Keep Moving," "Focus," "Anything is Possible."
Unexpected motivator today: THE SUN!!
I decided once it stopped raining that I was going to head to Valley Forge again. Decent temp at 60 degrees, still cloudy, but at least the rain stopped. Much to my surprise, about 5 minutes into my jog/walk... this bright yellow thing emerged from behind the gray clouds!! Could it be? Is it really? Ditching the jacket... and a 3 mile jog/walk (mostly jog this time...I'm getting there) was born! I felt ALIVE! The sun on my face, the beads of sweat dripping slowly down my face...
Now... dinner time! MacGyver meal... rice noodles w/ tempeh and vegetables. I hope it tastes as good as it smells!
Keep moving...
