Exercising In The Dark And Cold.


One of the hardest things to get used to in Boise is that the sun comes up so late. At 7 am it's still dark these mornings, and it will only get worse when we switch to daylight savings time. Rousing myself to get up and exercise in the morning is difficult, especially when the temperature is in the low 20s. 

But I decided I'm tired of being house-bound, so this morning I got up and braved the dark and cold. I drove a half mile to the Boise River and walked a little over two miles. As I got back to my car, the faintest trace of day had begun to light the eastern sky. 

I drove home, had an espresso, and looked out the front door.

Looks like I just got home in time.

More of the same tomorrow.

I don't think it's a fair tradeoff for lots of summer daylight.
