Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to
remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

*kick* I always have issues the day after a rest day. I don't know why, but I love my motivation if I rest more than 30 hours. But, you know you'll feel better once you get out there.
I ran 20 miles yesterday in 4 degree wind chills and I thought about a recovery run today, but the thought of bundling up again in all that stuff to stay warm, agh, forget about it.
One day at a time

Where has it gone? Gah, I had no problem going out in Sat.'s -8º windchill weather and doing 3 miles (would have gone further, but I was having balaclava and shoe issues, so decided to cut a mile or two from my run). But today it is "warmer" and I'm having a heck of a time getting motivated. I think this lack of sun is not helping.
Just because running is simple does not mean it is easy.
Relentless. Forward. Motion. <repeat>

YOU ARE my motivation! Hope this doesn't creep you out but I lurked at this site a long time before I started using the tools on it and you were always such an inspiration to me! Maybe it is because we are the same age...but I am always impressed with your motivation and successes!

So DH is going to see about tracking down a pair of Yak Trax for me in the meantime. Next year I will find a better fitting pair of warm trail shoes and Yak Trax, I think...unless NB redesigns this shoe to fit more like the rest of their product line. k
