Yesterday, as predicted, was interesting. I had planned to work an hour over, but wound up working two. I kept watching the weather, hoping for a break in the rain, and never got it, but when I went to leave, it was dusk, and still misting lightly. At that point, I had three choices:
1) Throw in the towel (no way!)
2) Head for the gym and the Dreaded Treadmill (ugh!)
3) Suck it up and brave the elements.
Option #3 won. Yes, I got a bit clammy, but I took my umbrella, and when the spitting rain became a heavier mist, I just cranked it up and sloshed on. I finished up after dark....not adviseable, but even cold and damp, it was infinitely preferable to the treadmill. There HAS to be something wrong with that logic, but I swear, I can't find it!
The important thing is that I won. And even though it's colder and wetter outside today, I'm really looking forward to braving the elements again, and getting my workout done. I've already made a contingency plan to do my Day One workout tonight instead, but for some reason, I'm just not feeling it. I know I need to do it, but my body's just craving the walk instead. Considering that we're going to be hitting the road on Friday night for a weekend trip to the ATL, I guess that's not a bad thing...get it while I can. Still...it is easier to get a walk in while out of town than it is to get a workout in...especially when you have to pack extra equipment and you're staying in someone else's house. Maybe I should go ahead and workout tonight, after all.
Gotta love January weather. To quote Forest Gump, that's all I've got to say about that.
Negatives: Definitely the weather...double ugh!
Positives: Perseverance, baby!
