I finally was able to get in some kind of workout for the week. I have been lacking in motivation and that is the only reason I haven't been doing anything... I'm not sure why I am having the issues but I just am not in the mood to run at all. I did 20 minutes on the elliptical and then 20 minutes on the treadmill, I'm going to try and get out tomorrow morning but no promises.

Later.

I ran out to Mini Gu Corner and then back to the house via canal road, pace was very slow but I was real proud of myself for getting out and getting her done. My average pace was at 9:24 with a total time of 56:57. I know it was way slow but still I was able to overcome the bad motivation issues and get it done.

See ya Monday.

I did some hill work today. I ran up past Mt Loafer school up Loafer canyon road and then towards the mailboxes, there is 200 meter hill that I did some hill repeats on and then I ran back down the same way. On the way down I had a 7:47 mile, my legs felt pretty good on the uphill and the downhill but my lungs did not, they have some catching up to do. My average pace was 8:54 with a total time of 46:05, it was a good start to the week.

See ya tomorrow.

I think I ran a little to far today for my fitness level, especially after the hill work yesterday, I think I would have been better served to run 3 miles or so... I felt okay through about 4 miles but then the wheels really came off and it was a serious death march, my average pace was really slow at 9:21 with a total time of 56:53. Im pretty proud of myself though, I have ran 4 out of the last 5 days so thats a pretty good stretch for me as of late.

See ya tomorrow.

I'm still having a hard time getting out the door. I just don't have the desire right now, and I'm not sure how to get it back... My goal is to get out tomorrow. I hope I can do it. I'm not sure why I am having this problem, it's really never been an issue for me in the past but I just can't get motivated.  Even signing up for a race doesn't get me going, it feels more like work and not fun like it use to be.  I'm not sure what I am going to do. 

Later.

Well I was able to over come the lazy demon and get my butt out the door this morning, and what a beautiful morning it was. I ran out past the Stake Center and towards Mini Gu and then back to the house, the plan was to just go 3 to 4 miles and not worry about pace and just get the legs moving. I felt better after a few miles and just kinda enjoyed the beautiful air, my average pace was 9:17 with a total time of 38.00. Not real fast but thats okay, my pace quickened the farther I was able to run so that was a pleasent surprise. This was a good start to making a come back, now I have to just keep at it.

See ya Monday.
