For a couple of seemingly long weeks now, I've been in a major Exercise Rut - as you might've gathered by the obvious post title.
Autumn (or rather, WINTER - IT'S FREEZING!) has well and truly hit and has quite literally sent perm-shivers down my spine. I'm a chilly morsel at the best of times, with a poor circulation to match. What does this equate to? The Simpson's fingers scenario.
Whilst I deal with my lack of body heat, I must also contend with my lack of motivation to exercise, as prompted by these lack-lustre weather conditions (not that I should be complaining, considering the devestation that's being caused by the powerful force of Nature in other parts of the world - God bless all of those who've been affected by hurricane Sandy).
Despite my previous post advocating the power of exercising in colder and wetter weather, I haven't exercised outside in at least a week. Clocks have gone forward an hour, too, meaning that it's dark outside by 5pm! Another reason why it feels as if I'm nearing the fateful 'hibernation' period.
However! Motivation must be restored somehow, and - luckily for me - this comes in the form of some seriously cool and sexy new shoes.
Yep, I'm the proud new owner of these Nike Free Run 3 trainers, courtesy of my excellent present-finder of a brother! I'm jealous of my own feet when I'm wearing these babies (I just cringed at that statement, like everyone else who might also be reading this post).
I've been meaning to test drive them for the past few days (outside of my own home), and I'm hoping tomorrow will kindly allow me a clear outlook weather-wise; I don't think I can quite bare the thought of potentially getting these even slightly dirty or wet.
So here's to happy running feet! Got any new gear to perk up the idea of running/exercising this Autumn/Winter? Share with me!
