Trying to improve my running

Ran the local trail today. I don't know if it is the heat of the amount I am working but I don't feel as much energy and excitement as I did a month ago.

ran a loop today part trail part road. It was nice. I think I either need to come up with a better goal to motivate me or else just need to relax and run for fun I am not sure which.

Nice run wanted to go for 5 miles. Ran up Wade Rd. I do think the heat might be the problem with my motivation after this run I was drenched in sweat. I did feel better after today's run it is nice to see the progress I've made over the last 9 months. I wouldn't have been able to run for a whole 5 miles let alone up this road which I felt like had some steep hills on it. Now 8 minute miles for 5 miles without being too wiped out afterwards.

Nice run. Felt pretty hot today. I am too tired to wake up earlier to go running though.
