It's the first day of fall. The changing seasons usually makes me take a break and look around. I talk about this on my blog, "What's Next?"
It turns out pausing to take stock is a good thing. I took a look around earlier and realized that summer was over. And I had met a total of ZERO of my summer fitness goals.
I had used the completion of the Newport Half Marathon last October and the oncoming chill of the New England winter as my excuse for backing off of my regular running.
I was going to get back to it.
I was waiting for the weather to get a bit nicer. Then all of a sudden it was just too damn hot.
I started going to 6AM spin classes in July, then the sun started to come up a bit later and it was getting too dark in the morning. And the kids started back to school and our calendar got a little crazy. And I just didn't feel like it.
So spin was hit or miss.
Well, you know what? I miss working out. I miss the feeling of accomplishment that comes after a good workout--really even after a crappy workout because, hey, I did it.
So I am looking at the calendar, going through my workout clothes, revisiting Map My Run, checking out cycling shoes. I am gearing up.
Do the changing seasons make you reassess where you are? Are you where you want to be?
