It was one of “Those” mornings
Everyone who exercises regularly has THOSE mornings. You know the ones I mean.
- I don’t want to get out of bed.
- They won’t miss me.
- One day off the bike won’t hurt.
- I’ll just hit the snooze button once.
- I have an early meeting, it will be easier if I sleep instead of ride.
- I told Dan last night that I was iffy for the ride this morning.
I was all ready to use every one of these this morning. But routine got the better of me. I woke a minute or two before the alarm rang. I lay there in twilight sleep. The alarm rang. I got up and was mid-way through the preparations before I remembered that I had these excuses all planned. Oh well … I’m up. I might as well go out.
And so the ride happened despite my well-laid plans. We rode in the fog. We had a brisk pace. It was cooler than it had been all week. I did have to cut it a little short because of the early meeting.
It was an enjoyable ride. Thanks only to routine.

It is good to see that I am not the only one who has “Those” mornings. If you can get out in crap weather then it is good enough for me to get out in so-so weather too.
