Ugh!!
It has been raining down here for DAYS now and its supposed to rain a few more. I never noticed, until this week, the role sunlight plays in my life. I can't really run cause its not just rainy, its humid too. And no breeze. I could go to the gym and exercise but its been grey outside all week. When I get in my apartment, I just feel exhausted, which doesn't happen when its sunny out. I usually run at 7:30 at night or at least have the energy to go to the gym and swim after work, not this week. I canceled the trainer session yesterday morning cause I went Tuesday and I swear I almost passed out. I had a good night sleep but I hadn't exercised all weekend and it was still grey and boy, it was a horrible session.

I guess I'm just so surprised at how gloomy weather for (seemingly) endless days really can impact your 'psyche' . Normally bad weather doesn't affect me, but this week, boy its been tough.

Patrice, we don't get a ton of rain here, but that's how I feel in the winter.

I agree Patrice, and find it astonishing each time I catch myself in a blue mood because of the weather!! This weekend has been dreary down here too-- but no rain, and overcast skies are making things cooler, so I don't seem to be too bothered by it.


Here's to some sunnier skies making their way to you, soon!
