There is no question about it. . . I am in a serious running slump. I completely enjoyed the two weeks I had off while AJ and I were on our honeymoon, but since then, I have had little or no motivation to run. I guess I can attribute it partially to the fact that I truly enjoyed not running or thinking about it (ok, I thought about it a couple times) while I was on our honeymoon and now that I am back I know how far behind in my training I am. I know that last year at this time, I was in great shape and had an awesome 15 miler with my dad. It was at that time the longest run I'd had and it was awesome. And here I am, struggling with 5 miles. I know that I need to get my ass in gear and I need to go to the gym to get weights in my routine to work on my core, but maybe I know that once school starts again, the training I have put in will fall to the wayside because of everything else I do. I find myself making up excuses for why I am not running, when I know deep down that I have no valid excuse because there is no excuse for not running when I know I can. It is rather frustrating and it is quite the conflict that is going on in my head. I need to set goals for myself and I need to thoroughly think these goals through and write them down so that I know I have no excuse as to why I am not progressing towards accomplishing them. I need to realize I am not on my honeymoon anymore and there are no excuses. It is frustrating because I want to run, but at the same time, I don't want to run. Right now, I am falling behind in my training and I am slacking, and I guess I feel like at this point, what is another day of slacking? But this will be my last day. . . after today, there are no excuses.
