On Tuesday, the Chicago area was hit with another snowstorm. I don't know why they only seem to happen on Tuesdays lately. Work kept me busy that day so I didn't leave until after 5:30 (which really isn't that late) and I was tired. The internal debate about whether to go to the gym or go home was raging in my mind and to encourage myself to go to the gym, I bribed myself with a little treat from Trader Joe's. If I ate a snack, I thought it would help me have a little more energy. Well it worked and I made it to the gym. The run itself wasn't all that bad either. Sometimes the hardest part is starting.
I can only hope that Tuesday's storm was the last snowstorm of the year. Bring on spring!
