Emerging from cocoon

Okay, so it is still hot in Georgia, but at last it is not broiling. I can come out from my air conditioned cave and breathe without feeling like I am swimming through the air. The moose (aka Bella the dog) and I have resumed our morning walks and OMG I am so out of shape. I have definitely used the heat as an excuse to become a sloth. So I have got to make myself get up, get dressed, put leash on moose and go out the door before I have time to think about what I am doing. Thinking is dangerous. I will come up with dozens of reasons I should put walk off until later. And I don't know why this is! I enjoy the walk once I actually begin. It's just that gettin' started thing. I have all the proper accessories (walking shoes, ipod, dog-on-leash); this shouldn't be a chore. So. Motivation is needed. Suggestions are welcome.
