Winter Motivation

Now that we've had our first cold snap here in Austin, I wonder if anyone else has trouble getting up in the cold wee hours to make practice? Any good ways to trick yourself out of bed? I keep an alarm clock in another room and often think of the answer I'd have to give when coach inevitably says, "So I didn't see you yesterday..." But sometimes, those things just aren't enough. I post this knowing we really don't have much to complain about in the way of cold weather, but I'm a native Texan and just have never liked being cold at all (cold being 55 degrees or so). Rachael

    The two things that work for me in winter (which also means its darker longer) are to get to bed earlier with a nice book and using a little sense memory when the alarm goes off. I picture and feel how it is when I complete the work out. That feeling of accomplishment is usually enough to get me going. Yes this is good ... I think I'll try this myself.
