i need serious motivation!

i ran the LI half in May and really want to run another before I get PG. I would love to run one in September, but I am so unmotivated, its almost like a joke. I need to get my motivation! Does anyone want to be my (slow) running partner???

Re: i need serious motivation!

Same here! I ran the half in May too and haven't done anything since. Its been so bad. My diet went to heck. I signed up for the diva half in the beginning of oct. I am hoping also around that time to start ttc.
Where do you live?

Re: i need serious motivation!

that half was like a brick wall. It sucked all the motivation out of me. I didn't run for practically the entire month of May (maybe 4-5 times - and I usually run 4-5/week).

this summer's heat has been oppressive - so that doesn't help.

Leave it all in the past. it doesn't matter that you didn't run yesterday, what matters is that you run today!

sign up for that half marathon and get your training plan together. Put it into an excel file and personalize it for you. Sign up for a 5K to jump start your training.

if running x miles seems too much...then translate it into time instead or vice versa.

do you log your miles? It's actually really fun to look to see what you've done and how far you've come. DH laughs at my charts and says a human made that graph! (he is used to seeing computers and graphs)
