I will admit it. I am in a bit of a slump. If you have been
running very long I am sure you know what I mean. I am having motivation
problems. Races that I excitedly committed to a few months ago don’t seem so
exciting any more. The long runs that used to be a good excuse to get outside
and enjoy a day now seem impossibly long, hard, and boring. Getting out for a
short run right now even seems monumental.
Part of it is the weather.
Spring has not yet made it all the way up here to Michigan. It is still
cold, and the gloomy, freezing weather has been replaced by gray wet
weather. Unfortunately this lack of
running inspiration has spread to lack of inspiration in the rest of my life as
well, as the lack of posts lately can attest.
Just as the buds are starting to sprout out on the trees
outside my window, I am confident that inspiration will strike again soon. In the meantime, I will have to rely on guest
posts from people who are enjoying their running right now, such as Leslie, who
wrote the wonderful race report on The Lost Dutchman Half. I also did manage to squeak out a few races
that I am putting together reports on for later in the week.
Finally I want to wish good luck to my Boston bound friends
Kate, Geoff, Rex, and Lynn. I hope that you all have a wonderful time (pun
intended).
Geoff, Kate, Rex, and Lynn |
