Where's My Motivation?

The end of last week did not work out like I had hoped. Thursday I ran easy, and then Friday I took a zero. I couldn't drag myself out of bed. Saturday I finally got around to the tempo run, which went ok but could have been better. Saturday night I was up late with a sick child, so Sunday I slept in and didn't run either.

I read something last week that the way to keep a habit is to just do it. You don't need fancy tricks, you just need to get out and do it. Nike was right. That was on my mind this morning as I headed out for my run. Mornings like today make me wish for spring. It wasn't too cold, but it was windy. You run for a minute or two when it's calm and you feel fine, then the wind picks up and you're freezing. I was lucky that this morning's run was out and back with the out into the wind.
