Damaris, we both needed a break I think.  Although not long, but I was burned out two weeks ago before the finals even started.

I was burned out after the semis, I think.  I never recovered from MCM and went right into then semis, and after that Las Vegas.  Now I can rest and race until the end of the year to start with a bang.

That's the problem with the game, it can burn you out and push you more than you might want to be pushed.  At least that was the case for me.  Well, at least it's over.  And cheers to a great 2013 running year. 

I cannot wait.  I have huge goals to meet.

I guess part of my lack of mojo is that I'm not really training for anything.  I am doing multiple marathons and other races, yes, but not training for any, so I guess my mojo goes out the window.  It will be back.

 I need to sign up for something because this is exactly how I feel.  I have no mojo and need to get it back.  Signing up for race(s) always motivates me.  I've been running so I haven't been slacking but there are days when I would rather not go and I make myself go.  If I sign up for a race it makes me want to go out and run more.  

That's not my problem.  I'm signed up for plenty of races.  But I"m not training to race them for a PR.  Good luck finding your mojo.

Hey all.  Weather is too intense for a little snow running tonight.  So I will do some couch surfing instead.

Van & D - Hope you are recovered.  I've never been on a team that makes the playoffs, so it hasn't been an issue for me ;-p

Nightcrawler - If I see your mojo out there, I'll try not to step on it  :-D

On New Year's Day I try to do some sort of special run and that always seems to get my mojo going for the year.  It's hard for me to push through January, February and March.  There are no Christmas lights.  The sky is gray.  It's cold and snowy.  I can't get out onto the single track unless I ski or snowshoe.  So, starting things off with a bang on the 1st and then working towards some mileage goals just helps pass the time in the winter and keeps me interested.

I appreciate you not stepping on my mojo. : ) If you see it maybe you could pick it up and send it back to me. Sounds like a good plan. I don't think I've ever done a New Year's Day run. Maybe I should.

My mojo is far away from me and I have not seen yours in ages.

I ran 2 miles and quit.  Bah.  I just want to take it easy, it seems.

Mike, I can see your point.  Good luck on your New Years Day run!
