My get up and go... (Read 882 times)

this morning it was -14"F. I woke up and said, "this sucks, I'm sick of this, and I'm not running today. The treadmill sucks. Running sucks." But then, I'll probably go to the "y" on my way home anyway. I might run outside, though, because it's 4 out there now. And the TM really does suck after a while. Do what you want to do, and make peace with yourself. What is "meh?"

Go to google and search for "what is meh?"

http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-238-263--608-0,00.html I have to use the TM all summer, and this kind of stuff helps. I like to add this in for intensity: http://www.goruneasy.com/RunEasy/#section=PlaylistDirectory.aspx Whatever works.

I think this sums it up for everyones' running. Though, I do understand what Zoomie is sayin'. It'd just be nice to be able to go out and run, without gearin' up for the cold, trudgin' around in the slop and snow, and getting the feeling back in your feet and face a half hour or so after you get back inside. That's all. Better days are comin' Zoomie. Appreciate them when you have them.

Zoomie, if the groundhog saw his shadow, do we get 6 more weeks of snivelling? Hang in there. Spring's right around the corner. Once the frost is off the ground, you and I both have some serious bunny pounding to do.

Ha! Yeah, that bunny had better be glad he has a good lead on me. I'm collecting cans of whup-ass that I fully intend to open on that rodent bastard with great force.

Kirsten, dont feel bad - I am having the EXACT same problem. I think its because we were both sick recently and just arent over it yet. I was actually thinking today how I feel like i'm hitting a wall with my running. I feel alot better and can get out there and be about 97% now, but I havent been getting any enjoyment out if it at all this past week. I think I got to liking not having to worry about going out running, being back in time to cook dinner, having enough time to shower and be able to get ready for work, etc. forget about laundry or cleanig the house.....i think the crud in the shower is actually starting to talk to me when I'm in there! (I am making my hustband do the bathroom cleaning tonight because I cant take it anymore) But I feel ya - I JUST DONT WANNA GO! Are we still a little sick? Are we just plain sick of winter? or are we getting tired of running? or have we just gotten lazy lately? I dont know, but if I find the answer in the next couple of days I will let you know - and vice versa, deal?

8-12 inches of snow predicted for tomorrow. It will be our 6th snow day, the most I can remember, and my son is in 10th grade. I guess I'd better run today, even though it will be cold.

Alan, that's miserable. Better to be injured when the weather is crummy. 60...ahhh...that sounds heavenly! Let's trade locales...you come here and stay warm indoors whilst looking at the pretty snow and I'll go there and run. Then when you are healed we can trade back and the weather here might be better.

See? You still have attitude. You'll be back out there in force soon. For now, take that attitude and run with it!!! Pretend like the bunny is running in front of you. Or, run in my neighborhood where there really are tons of bunnies around, and have my dog rip your arm out of the socket trying to get the bunny for you.

I wish we had more bunnies...we have squirrels and deer. I'd prefer bunnies.
