I made a commitment that I would begin a walking program today.  All day I was rushing to complete work chores and longing to have them finished so I could walk for exercise and work on my novel.  By the time I had finished work I was simply exhausted yet the determination was there to fulfill my promises to myself to write and exercise.

My work chores had been to complete eight small paid writing assignments today and pack a composite order of several eBay sales for several customers from my Australian Art Gifts site.

I tried to write and was too tired to do the quality writing I need to do for a novel and I was too exhausted to walk in the hoot late afternoon air.   Then I had a brainwave....I went to the pool.  It was exercise and refreshing and I swam many laps, stretched in the hydrotherapy pool afterwards then came home and ate dinner.  Yes I was still too tired to work in my noel but I have exercised.  I am pleased I achieved that, plus a very busy day's work. Maybe that was enough for today.  My mind wants to do more than my body can and time allows :-). Is there a book to cover that? lol.
