Yes, I know what you mean. Yesterday I literally wilted at my desk as it was getting cloudy AND dark at 4:30 pm.

Some of the suggestions on here I have already implemented. When I start to feel wilty I get out and start walking. I started walking at lunch with some people I work with. I walk my dog in the dark of the morning and then the dark at night, but it feels good to get outside. I try to get out as much as I can.

On the training end. Take a break. I am realizing I was stupid to train as much as I did with an injured leg and now I'm finally, after a year, getting back on track. I would take a few weeks off and just do some different things, maybe hit the gym, swim, walk or heck, just do nothing. It makes you appreciate good, non fatigued workouts even more.

Do you weight train? This is the time of year I amp up my weight training-except last year I got the big idea that I didn't need it and got injured. If I only took my own advice huh....?

The artificial lights- I don't like them They are a weird kind of light, I checked several out, you really need to see them before you buy them. The light kind of annoyed me, I have no idea why.
