When I was training for LA marathon last spring, I surprised myself with how much motivation that I had to get out for all of my runs. This time around, I feel like I've been dragging myself out for every run (when I go) and the only good run I've had so far is my 8 miler two weeks ago.
After seeing Laurel had started a running blog, I thought maybe if I did it too it would give me some motivation for my runs. If all goes as planned, I will be excited to get back from my run and post I DID IT!!! There will be some kind of accountability. Scott is running with me also but he hasn't been much better than me at sticking to our training program!
So here's what the plan is. Next week starts my 16 week program. I'm doing the FIRST "Run Less Run Faster" program which is three days of running a week and two days of cross training. It starts out at 13 miles for the first long run, so for the last 8 or 9 weeks we've been working up to 13 miles. My longest run so far has been my 8 mile run two weeks ago. Last week, I was supposed to run 9 miles when I was at home, but I started too late and got hot and was having some bowel issues and so I stopped at 6.5.
I haven't run since last weekend. The long days at school and the holiday weekend did not help my training. The goal for tomorrow morning is to run 11 miles. Maybe that is stupid and too far to go, so I have my run set up so that I can easily shorten the run by a mile or two, as long as I decide by mile 6 or 7.
I wish I had a cute picture to post like Laurel did!
Scott is going to run now (and I feel a little guilty about not running) but I have to get up early to take him to the airport and want to run after that so I can sleep in on Sunday.
Things that are zapping my motivation:
-heat
-humidity
-looooong days at school
