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).

Tis the season to treat yourself... buy a new cap, goggles, new suit - or in your case, maybe spring for a parka... keeps you warm and snuggly before you jump in. Periodically, I buy a new cap or whatever just to psych myself up.
Or, you could treat yourself to a cup of coffee or hot cocoa after practice.

As mentioned above, I also try to remember how I feel after a workout and look forward to that.
