[quote=Anonymous]I run. This time of year, it's so hard. Really, really a challenge, with the single-digit temps and the ice. It helps to have a goal (I'm training for the Cherry Blossom 10 miler) but really, what helps most is just doing it over and over til it's almost second-nature. I know that is probably not terribly helpful.

Maybe you can re-examine the excuses/assumptions you mentioned, like "I can't get out of bed early to do it," or "It's too cold and dark in the mornings." If I didn't run before work in the mornings, I wouldn't exercise at all. Maybe reframe this as a positive? Yes, it's cold and dark, but with a reflective vest and staying on well-traveled roads, you're safe. It's nice to have the head-space of some alone time. It's awesome to come back home to my just-waking toddler and a warm house and feel good about myself and what I've just done. It puts me in a good mindset for the day. And I can eat dinner right after work!

And exercising outdoors will be much easier when the weather improves! Maybe give yourself a break and start a routine in March/April, if you're in the wrong mindset now?
