I am losing steam. Ha. It feels like my 80% goal for the year is slowly slipping away. Oh, well. Onward.

****************

There's a lot in here if you are me and you know what to look for. I went away for the weekend and while I considered it "time off," you would probably not if you considered how many miles we walked and how much I jumped at the concert. It's also just that the days are getting shorter and, as many of you know, I suffer from SAD and I am struggling these days. But I shall persevere and try to get through this.

****************

Do you find your motivation for working out slipping this time of year? Or do you find more time once the kids go back to school?

  1. I never work out on vacation or travel - I like spending my energy walking and exploring, like you say.

  2. The weather has been making me cranky lately. I keep reminding myself that I'm running through the heat so that when it cools off, I can appreciate running in the nice weather. As much as I want cooler weather, I'm not looking forward to the DARK mornings.
    You're doing great- keep at it.
