Lack of Motivation

I haven't had any motivation to run lately. Over the weekend, I got up early, it was a good temperature for running outside (a bit overcast), but I grabbed a book and curled up with my Chiweenie on the couch. And I stayed there for 3 hours!

When I finally peeled myself off the couch and got dressed for a run, I was still completely unmotivated. Even after I ventured outside to the remarkably warm day for January, I still had no enthusiasm towards running and spending time in the beautiful weather. Maybe I waited too long to get outside?

I was tired, hungry and was frustrated fighting the wind. I swear there was a strong headwind no matter which direction I turned on the last 2 miles back home. I later learned that "windy" on the DFW weather forecast meant wind gusts of 50 miles an hour! No wonder running felt so difficult!

This evening I didn't make it to the gym either. A storm blew in and the rain started just about quitting time. I couldn't bring myself to go to the gym and walk in the rain. So instead I spent an hour commuting in the downpour. I did force myself onto the elliptical when I arrived home. But I didn't work very hard since I spent the whole time reading "Hunger Games"!

Miles logged: 0 (elliptical was too easy to count)
