I’m not sure why it’s so dang hard to exercise. Or why it’s so dang hard to get up in the morning. This is something that I’ve had issues with for quite awhile. Being at a job that doesn’t require a “strict” arrival time, there’s not a whole lot of incentive for me to get “up and at ’em” at any specific time. Except maybe the dirty looks given by my wife as I lay in bed while she gets all the kids ready for the morning? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
But even having said that, I do want<\/b> to do better. I have set the goal to wake up with the alarm<\/a>. And I have a goal of exercising 4 total days<\/a> this year. But for some reason those are not motivating me. When I came to the great awakening last October<\/a> that to hit my goal of exercising 1000 miles I needed to do 62 miles a week, that was very motivating to me. I would go to the Y most mornings, and would go sometimes in the evenings, including one evening when I rode the exercise bike for nearly 39 miles<\/a>.<\/p>\n But 2008 has not been great for me. I started out okay, but then I horked my back, and couldn’t really do anything, and got out of the habit and boom – here I am. <\/p>\n I do have those above-mentioned goals. I am also planning on repeating my adventure<\/a> in the Miami triathlon<\/a>. But maybe I need more immediate “harder” goals. <\/p>\n Thoughts anyone? For the record, as you can see over to the right in my handy exercise log widget, I did exercise this morning – I went 25 minutes and did 2.79 miles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m not sure why it’s so dang hard to exercise.
