I set a timer for ten minutes on flat days and turn around when it goes off, no negotiating with myself about going further. Some days that's all I've got and it still seems to keep the routine alive.

On the flat days I just walk laps around the block by my place, no route planned, and stop whenever my legs say enough. Beats staring at the couch
On my flat days I skip the loop entirely and just do laps around the yard while the kettle boils. Sounds silly but it keeps the streak alive without wiping me out.
What helps me on flat days is putting on shoes and stepping outside before I decide anything.
What helps me on the flat days is putting shoes on before I can talk myself out of it.
Does the mailbox trick actually get you out the door on the flat days? I keep bargaining with myself on the couch and losing.
