Cold weather makes me lazy. Cold and wind seem good reasons at 4:30 AM to stay in a warm house. By 8:00 AM I'm kicking myself for not getting out and walking. At 5:30 PM my dogs are kicking me for not getting out and walking. All that kicking and yet I'm lazy.
Sometimes I have false starts. I get all dressed in my finest warm clothes and my flashing lights. I hook up my dogs and head outside. I make it partially down the lane and I turn around. It's too cold for the dogs, it's too cold for me, I forgot I better get to work early today...false start and the kicking begins.
I find my motivation with mind games. I'm driving a dogsled across Alaska. I'm leading a search party into the frozen waste land. I've landed on a unknown planet and must walk to where Captain Kirk will rendezvous.
A bit crazy but it's better than all that kicking.

Just don't pretend the dogs are sherpas. Not sure where they would guide you.
