Not your traditional bah humbug mood. I don't mind the shorter days, or even the cold weather. However, my motivation is lacking in relation to my running. After completing my marathons last fall, I definitely felt like I needed a break from all the training. Big mistake!! Since then, I haven't be able to harness my motivation and get my ass in gear. I have let myself use excuse after excuse...ok, I haven't even been making excuses, I just haven't been running. I have been lifting weights with the man on average, 4 days a week and love that. I know I'm getting stronger and losing inches. I know that will benefit my running. I just haven't made the time. I have come to despise the treadmill. I have no idea how that was ever my sole source of running. Part of it has been the shorter days, I get off work, we hit the gym, and then it's dark and dinner time and there's homework to do, and well I do like seeing the man and the boy. See, excuses. Must get ass in gear!! Ask me how far I ran today; if I say I say I didn't, ask me how far I ran yesterday; if I still say I didn't call me a slacker and tell me to get my lazy ass out there as I usually don't have 2 off days in a row from running when I'm on my schedule.
-signed, lazy ass slacker
