i seem to lack motivation
I am running the Colfax Half Marathon in May, with like, half of my housemates. And my best friend, who is flying in from Michigan. I am excited for it, especially with the number of people I know who are going to be doing it with me.
But for some reason, I have not started training for it. I can't seem to get myself even INTO running clothes, much less out the door. I am in the beginning stages of getting over a sinus infection, which I think is part of the problem, but really, I can't keep making excuses.
I love running. I need to do it.
And yet still I struggle. I'm planning on going out tomorrow morning and running a couple miles.
I was talking to Holly today, one of my friends who is doing the 1/2. And I said, I am very excited, but I think the reason I am not more worried is because I have done a half before. Which is NO reason not to train. 13 miles is 13 miles, and the last time I ran 13 miles was 2 years ago. It's just so frustrating to be excited about this race, but to have no desire to train.
Well, despite lack of desire, I'm going to go out for 3 miles tomorrow, and I will finish them, even if I have to walk. Perhaps I can force some motivation into my body.....
