The spirit is willing but the body is weak

The weather is cold, snowy, rainy and windy so I walk to the mall through a maze of indoor corridors.
The spirit says walk quickly the body says not today. The spirit says keep going the fingers reach out to feel the fabric on a jacket. The spirit says starting and stopping isn’t going to help you feel the burn. The body says, I’m hot enough.
My goal is shifting rapidly from beating my previous time to hoping for a day without rain, snow or too much wind so that the body will at least show up, spirit intact.
