This sucks. No other way to put it. I have never been LESS motivated to run with the exception of pregnancy and post-partum. I have no idea why!
I don't know. Every time I do run, I feel great. I feel like a moron for not doing it every day. Then the next day comes and the thought of running sounds as appealing as a stick in the eye.
It's lame. I feel good. I don't hurt at all anywhere (which I know plenty of runners on Injured Reserve that would right now would die to be able to run 1mi) The kids are willing to watch a movie for a half hour so I can jump on the mill-so time is no excuse. Truly I have nothing. The hubby even asks if I am going to run. It's so weird.
I had my plan of action all written out through AMR and I did pretty good until this Tuesday. Then it all fell apart. Aside from one day of yoga, I have done nothing!!
I did buy new running shoes today which is always a treat. I'm thinking that may help?
I also have no goals right now. My next race isn't until November. It is a half and honestly I just don't feel that excited about it. I know the weather will be horrible-it always is-and frankly that is not a problem for me. I spent all last winter during an La Nina` training for my spring half. As much as I hate the WA weather, I have no problem getting out in the rain and cold and running. How strange is that??
UGH!! This is nuts!
So here are my thoughts-
I start prepping to run the Seattle Marathon like a full. Meaning I start to ramp my miles back up and start training on July 23.
OR I start streaking and see how long I can get. Minimum of 1mi /day every single day. No excuses.
If you are down in a rut-how do you get back your fitness MoJo??? Anyone-Anyone??
I would go for the 1mi/d streak before committing to the full & see if that works. You can always switch to the full at the Expo if you're feeling naughty!
