Today I did it!  I woke up at 6am when Jacob jumped in the shower and talked my sweet butt into getting up and going on a walk.  Every night when I’m going to sleep I try to see myself getting out of bed the next morning full of excitement for a walk and it never works.  I told Jacob what I was doing and he told me it was cold outside.  It didn’t seem cold inside so I checked the weather.  It said 55 degrees but was supposed to rain.  I ran downstairs to check the weather myself.  Cool but no rain.  I ran back upstairs to get ready and get the dogs ready to go with me.

We started our walk.  The dogs have to do their business before we can actually get going.  Once they’re done and I get onto the street, here come the sprinkles.  I keep on going.  While I’m trying to speed up my pace, and keep the dogs from smelling every blade of grass, there are random drops just falling from the sky.  I tell myself to start jogging a bit to hurry.  Katie doesn’t feel like running so I’m basically pulling her along with me.  I get maybe .5 miles down and the sprinkles get heavier.  We turn around.  Now, Katie is ready to sprint back home.  (Keyword: treats) So we run all the way back.

When we get back in the house I thought I’d do some sit-ups since my walk was shortened.  While I’m laying on the ground, Ginger keeps dumping her frisbee on my chest to throw it for her to fetch.  I only end of doing about 100 sit-ups, but again, it’s better than nothing.

I’m proud of myself for not letting too many excuses get in the way of me actually exercising a bit this morning.  Tomorrow it’s supposed to be pouring rain so maybe I’ll dance in the living room to Wii.
