This blurry action shot shows that I did not succumb to the "it COULD rain... maybe" excuse I was formulating in my head to get me out of going for a ride. It is SO easy to find excuses to get out of exercise. Too tired, too busy, too hot, too cold... blah, blah, blah. They come into my head all the time. But when they do wiggle their evil little way into your thoughts, just remember:
1. Getting ready and getting there is often mentally the hardest part. Once you're all geared up and ready to train you'll feel better.
2. You will often feel more energised after you do some exercise. Get that blood pumping and those feel-good endorphins flowing.
3. You will feel better about yourself for sticking to the plan. As I mentioned in my last post, it is very hard to succeed if you get negative and angry at yourself for not achieving.
And finally
4. A healthy and active lifestyle is all about creating good habits. Once exercise becomes a habit you will feel far worse off when you miss out, so stick to it.
I assure you, it will be worth it.
