My running hasn't been stellar. Sure, I'm still in recovery from my injury, but I also have been cleared to run for 2 weeks now. How much have I put in? Twice. I could give a list of reasons, but fact is I haven't really been motivated. The weather has been cold and snowy and I just haven't felt any desire to go to the track.
I went last night and it felt really good. I still have some stiffness and the muscles are a little tender, but I was able to get up to a speed where I was able to hold my own with the little old ladies speed walking. I pushed it a little for the last 1/2 mile enough so that I could actually feel a bit of sweat breaking out...it was a nice change.
I am planning on one more day this week and then we're off to sunny California until Christmas. I doubt I'll get much running in, but walking all over will be good for me. I am also looking toward 2010 for the many races I would like to do. I'm definitely planning on the Salt Lake City Half-Marathon and the Top of Utah Marathon. In between those two there are a bunch of options for me. I'd like to tack on another marathon and half, but I also get to play it smart.
If I'm not back on until after the holidays, have a Merry Christmas.

I'm right there with you. My motivation has been terrible. I ran yesterday for the first time since Thanksgiving. Hang in there. Sign up for a race or two and that motivation will return.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it is that time of year.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya. I've lost motivation too. One of my friends told me that December is for eating, not running.
