I get up at 5:15and walk/jog for 30 minutes. Then a couple of days a week I do some ab/arm exercises. It's such a struggle to get up, though and only gets worse as it gets darker and colder in the mornings. <BR/>I did go and walk a dog at the humane society last week and that was fun. That provided some motivation. I do feel sorry for those poor mutts all cooped up all day. Actually, tomorrow my guy and I are going to the greyhound shelter to walk the dogs there. I definitely hear you on the inspiration dogs can provide. :)Belovedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01249852526655365590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17698318.post-73653695755199827092008-08-27T13:08:00.000-07:002008-08-27T13:08:00.000-07:00I walk and listen to music.

Walking with her is the perfect time to catch up. Once we went our separate ways, I called mom and talked to her the rest of the way home. I think my pace was a little too leisurely to be considered excerise - but I did like the multi-tasking...I got double the endorphens (sp?)...Have a good rest of your week!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17698318.post-86748860782904077672008-08-26T19:35:00.000-07:002008-08-26T19:35:00.000-07:00Argh.

I enjoy the feeling afterwards, but sometimes it's all I can do to force myself to take the first step. <BR/><BR/>I do it because I have seen what living an unhealthy lifestyle has done to my parents and most of the time that's motivation enough. (And having a cool partner who will get up with me at 6:00 am if that's the only time in the day we can fit in a run!)NGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04056381269070465424noreply@blogger.com
