I have had a heck of a time in timing my exercise this year. I really like to go to the lake for a vigorous kayak paddle followed by a vigorous montain bike pedal. The plan is to get up early and get it done before the day really even starts. It hasn't been going too well, though.
Seems like I either was up too late the night before, I need to help get the Kids somewhere or I get into something for work early AM.
No problem, right? I can go to the lake at lunch. Except it doesn't happen most days because I have work and appointments and meetings...and guilt like I should be doing something more productive.
Evenings? Yeah, that doesn't happen either. The answer is that if I don't get it done in the wee AM I don't get it done. So, since you got this far in my rant, here is my commitment to myself with you as the witness. To the lake, early AM, no less than 4 days. Other exercise or specific exceptions accepted, like if I have a mid afternoon ride planned with friends, but no blowing it off with a simple hope that it will happen later. It won't....
