Nice afternoon run.  6:53 pace.  The sunshine makes it feel springy!

Early morning treadmill workout.  3 mile warm-up followed by 10 x 3 minutes on/ 2 minutes off.  Faster average than last time I ran this workout.  I felt pretty good.  Cooled down until I hit 11 miles.

Horrible motivation this week.  I think I dug myself into a hole somehow.  It might have been the 18 miler on Saturday.  I need to get it together, but I can't seem to get my head into training.  When I am focused on a goal, I am very disciplined and everything else revolves around workouts.  When I let myself slip, I remember how nice it is to sleep in, how great it is to spend time with my kids, how good junk food tastes.  Then I start to lose motivation.  I need to set some solid goals and a more specific training plan.  But, my mind and will don't quite seem to be up to the challenge yet.  I need to make sure I'm ready to commit.

14 miles with Jenny.  We stayed on the Jordan River Parkway to keep it flat and easy.  It didn't feel easy.  I was very happy to stop at 14.  Race next week.  I do not have high hopes.  Sorry for all the blah.
