I’ve been trying to get myself back in shape. After several months of walking my dog on multi-mile walks I finally got my knee strengthened up enough to run on it with a knee brace. After a couple of weeks with the knee brace it is now strong enough to run without it.

I’ve been making progress.

A big part of that progress has been due to my sticking with my training plan and at least doing a portion of each days plan. This has worked fine until this morning. Winter has finally set in with a cold and rainy day. I can’t motivate myself to get out and do the 20-25 minutes of running that I really need to do today.

My worry is that this early into my training any deviation from my plan will destroy my committment by giving me a precedent for not following through with my plan any time there is something in my way of completing the days plan. Habits are formed through repitition.

I’ll run this afternoon when the rain lessens.
