There is an interesting article in New York Times entitled ‘Train the Mind to Run Right Through Winter’ written by Gina Kolata.  She cited how other people’s exercise routines are affected with the weather. During winter and fall people tend to quit their exercise routines compared in the summer season.

How many of us are guilty of this? It can be a good excuse to escape our exercise regime, right? However, the article conveys a message that we should carry our exercise regardless of the weather.

It means exercising against all odds. Exercising despite of the weather condition is a matter of commitment to our fitness goal. A one-day-slip from our exercise routine can turn to two days or more until we realize that we eventually lost track of our fitness goal.

It may not be easy to run in a chilling weather but a proper conditioning of the mind will greatly help. To be a seasoned runner or biker, one has to run or bike in any season. Weather condition should not beat your determination to keep up in your fitness goal.
