What I have feared is slowly becoming reality. Working away from home is proving to be demotivating for my exercise. The pool isn’t quite as nice as my local one, the gym is nice but 20 minutes out of my way, and it isn’t light enough in the evening yet to feel happy about going out running. And these excuses are a load of bullshit.

I’ve got to kick myself up the backside and get doing it. Why don’t I run at lunch time? The office has a nice shower room, so why can’t I motivate myself? The pool isn’t that bad really, it’s just that I don’t have time in the mornings to swim the distance that I want to do – more excuses, grrr.

Right, I’ll go swimming tomorrow and Thursday mornings, and run Wednesday and Friday mornings – the weight lifting will have to suffer this week, I’ll talk to Stuart about working out a schedule that works better for next week.

By the way, ran 3.8 miles on Sunday, so the exercise isn’t a total loss.
