Exercise

These days, it is a commonly accepted notion that exercise is "good" and helps keep us healthy, maintain a healthy body weight and generally increase our lifespan.

I recently read this article in Time magazine which I think was the start of my "why bother" phase. It raises a lot of interesting points. I wanted to share it just to lend SOME justification to why I've been feeling a dramatic drop in motivation.

In under a minute of researching the Time article, I found this article in Runner's World referencing an even more detailed article which somewhat refutes the Time article. Therefore . . . I still ran this morning (and yes, it's even Thursday, my revered day off). Bella and I slept in a little bit. We hit the streets at 6:45am. That's the latest we've ever left for our run! I was dripping sweat by the end, but it wasn't that bad. If I had never done Bikram yoga, I might have been bothered by the dripping sweat, but it was old news to me!
