Getting Out the Door

This morning I finally got my lazy butt out the door!

This is, for most people, THE greatest obstacle to surmount. If we just go outside and start moving most of us would be a heck of a lot healthier and running is most the natural effect of walking. I know that walking is just too slow for me! If I'm going to be outside, on the roads or at the park, I may as well run and get some benefit from being up so early in the morning.

After a brief hiatus in my running and a huge change in my girth I feel an incredible sense of self worth and good health. Just one day can change ones outlook on, not just life, but upon the very act of running as well.

Running has been for me the best and most positive physical exercise for many years. When I run I am a different person from the times I don't run. The way I look at my friends, family and my job are so much more positive when I am in condition.

Sure you could join a gym (seen the cost of that lately?) and attend a spinning or step class. No argument from here. You will get in shape! But there is nothing like being outside, especially early in the morning. The air is clean and fresh and the best it will be all day (and certainly more invigorating than the air conditioning indoors).

So get out the door and see what it can mean for your life.
