Workout: 2.2-mile walk with Denali

I feel like a sloth. A congested, hard of hearing sloth.

The facts:

I have Mark's cold from last week and spent much of yesterday on the couch. I got up to eat and go to the bathroom and go to the bathroom and eat.

My head is congested, my nose is runny and my ears are clogged.

The thought of leaving my bed, much less the house, to do anything makes me groan.

I have not run once in February. (In my defense, there are 15 inches of snow on the ground and not all paths are clear.)

I have not had a real cardio workout either.

I know I have to change these things.

But our forecast this week is not making this appealing.

Even if I pay to use the college fitness center, I still have to go outside in below zero temperatures.

But I am going to. I am making a commitment to myself - and you.

I will go to yoga tomorrow and Thursday.

I will run Thursday and Friday.

I will try to squeeze in some miles Sunday before yoga.

I will. I will. I will.

I will because I don't like me, me how I feel as a sloth.

Please tell me I'm not alone in my winter blues.
