Anyone else have these morning arguments with yourself? What drives the motivation on the tough days? I'm here at work, 10 miles later, still half-asleep, but glad I won my mental fight
Yep-- definitely, especially on cold rainy mornings in the Pacific Northwest where I live. Wish I was one of the many cyclists who can cheerfully rocket out of bed and straight onto the bike; can't do it. Also, in my case, I have an old knee injury that won't permit me to cycle until I've been up and moving around for an hour or more, otherwise it will flare up and put me off the bike for days. Fortunately I can multi-mode commute; usually ride 3 miles in the morning to the bus and get my mileage in late in the evening with a 24 mile ride home.
