My struggle these days is to get my b*** out the door to walk! My favorite temps are the 80's & 90's so when the thermometer on the wall says 40 or 45, and the furnace is keeping the house comfy, my walking mojo is just...gone. I have to dig through the basket and find my toasty soft red alpaca hat my daughter made for me & some bright, fuzzy gloves - that should lift my spirits & get me going.

Good to have another walker who has to push themselves out the door with lower temps. I have felt the same, even 60’s through October at least would be a reprieve. I need to just do it, I always feel better after my walk!

@sueinmn Oh for that cooler weather it's 94 here already going to 101 today not good for walking outside ,Walmart walking today

just do it! 40 - 45 is good it's going to be in the low hundreds here. I'm walking.

@sueinmn, Oh, Sue, I am so with you on the cold ! My cold feet insist on socks from Oct - June and I find myself constantly jiggling the thermostat from heat to ac during these transitional days of autumn.

My walks have been radically shortened these past two weeks because of "tip to stern" right side pain...Heating pads, meds and prof. treatments have me yearning for a return to pain free walks. While I've honored my challenge and made the walking effort set for myself, the very abbreviated distances covered are more symbolic than therapuedic sp as far as true exercise.

Although bundled up like a stranded Eskimo ice fishing during winter, I managed to walk last winter. However, several yrs ago, all "dolled up to the gillies" from top to toe with heavy insulation, I so startled our young grand with my black ski face mask, that he yelled, "Mom! There's a robber walking up our driveway!" Poor baby didn't recognize his grammer in disguise. Bright colors might have made the difference....lol

@migizii - I am determined to keep walking (therapy for foot fusion surgery) until there is snow that won’t allow it; but I’m so bundled up now, I hope I adjust to these colder temps or I don’t know what I’ll do....waddle for my walks😂😂😂
