Today I seriously struggled w/a sense of just not doing anything. (Imagine me whining to myself....) "It's a busy day and it takes too much time to get over to the Y and back...it's cold outside and cloudy!...I'm achy...I might need an inhaler and I don't have one...(sidenote - I really was having trouble breathing just sitting here)...I'm tired...etc..."
However!!
I really wanted to kick it into gear and not let myself down. I started this whole project to run a 5K, not to sit on the couch and whine.
I bundled up (it's 38*, but feels like 31* according to TWC online) and went outside. I ran/walked 2.4 miles around the neighborhood. I felt like a cold slug, but I did it! I refuse to be indifferent about whether or not I achieve my goals! If I had some better/warmer running gear I think I could convince myself to get outside more often...too bad there is no running gear fairy!

The OTHER blog
The challenge
This poor blog!...we have been doing more on 4 wheels than 2 for the past couple of years, but the only way to make change is to keep putting one pedal ahead of the other...
Here's to another year on bikes - please leave a comment and brag about the miles you've biked! No trip is too short! Good luck!
