I know not everyone gets as excited about a walk. When you live in Oregon, unless you want to get soaked, you have to time your walks just right this time of year. Between the weather and appointments, I've had a hard time squeezing in exercise. We have had lots of rain and wind this week. The rain has been coming down in buckets.
Thank heavens I still feel very motivated to keep on exercising. After 3 days of nasty weather, I finally decided to do the eliptical. After 2 days on the eliptical, I was ready for a break.
This afternoon the rain let up for a brief moment. I threw on my walking shoes and headed out the door. I was a little worried when I passed the llamas. They were heading for cover. I persevered and continued on.
I think I set a personal best walking time. Between the threat of rain and the excitement of finally getting a chance to go outside, I was highly motivated to get my walking in. It felt great. I love the crisp air on my face.
The rain started when I was about 3/4 of the way done. Even the rain felt great. Luckily it didn't really pour until after I was inside.
I love walking outside!

Plum, I prefer walking inside on a treadmill, but we can't afford to buy one right now so I have to walk outside. Here the weather is a wonderful 80 degrees or so in the afternoons and if it's too chilly for me to walk in the mornings, I try to walk in the afternoon. I think I've walked every day this week and the weather is nice again today, so I'll be able to walk/exercise. I've set a goal to walk for 30 minutes at least 5-6 days per week.
