Just started working a new job and the hours are freaking ridiculous (up at 0230 get home at 1730) and I am having a hard time trying to find the motivation to get my a$$ in gear and complete my runs. Can somebody/anybody kick my a$$ to get me out there on the road again. It would be greatly appreciated. Jeremy

Click on your profile, sailor. Smile

I couldn't come up with a better motivation than you already have there.

Jeremy, Great post by McRat. Even 15-20 minutes runs will have health benefits and then run longer on weekends. If you are in good shape, think about how it will feel to be out of shape and how difficult it will be to get back in shape. Good luck man!

You can do it...even if you just get in 2-3 short runs during the week it will pay off. Then you can log some longer runs on the weekend. Man I thought I had it bad. I get up at 4:00am and leave the office around 5:30PM. I feel ya though...I am sometimes tempted to go to bed right when I get home.

That sounds about like my schedule. I get up on work days at 0430 (otherwise known as 0'dark thirty) and I usually get home at 1900. Luckily I only do this three days a week (I work 3 12s) otherwise I could not do it. I don't run on the days that I work because I am on my feet all day but I do make it a point to run on my days off which makes my days at work that much easier.

Finished my first marathon 1-13-2008 in 6:03:37 at P.F. Chang's in Phoenix. PR in San Antonio RnR 5:45:58!!!!!! on 11-16-08 The only thing that has ever made any difference in my running is running. Goal: Break 2:30 in the HM this year Jay Benson Tri (place in Athena category) 5-10-09
