this is really making me laugh right now:
jane austen's fight club - "come on, hit me... before i loose my nerve"
so i'm running a half marathon september 18th. and i NEED to get more motivated in my running. i'm struggling with running 3-4 times a week like i should be. and right now i'm at about 5 miles. according to my training plan i should be running 8 miles on saturday, but i'll be at 6. and my times are so slow. i don't know if it is the heat (though i've been trying to run at 7am) or that i'm just exhausted from work or what. but i am out of shape. once i'm running i'm ok, it is the actually getting my running shoes on and getting out the door. any advice on motivation. i know part of my problem is i did team sports my whole life... so i always had a friend to work out with, so trying to do this for me i'm struggling with. any advice?
ummm, work this week is a hott mess. there are no words for it but hott mess. let's just say it has been a long time since i've dealt with 10-12 year olds... summer of 2005 was the last time i worked with this age and i hated it.
i might be going to maine! i'm looking at going to acadia national park in august. that would be my 26th state, and my 3rd new place this year! i really want to see a moose!
and i am sooo tan this summer! i guess that is the joy of being outside on the water. and i've been having so much fun sailing! there was some decent wind tuesday so i went out and had a blast and learned how to do a few new things. and i also love that i'm not wearing makeup all summer, i shower throw my hair into a ponytail and use some moisturizer and chapstick. LOVE IT!

I totally hear ya about the lack of motivation. Once you're finally out there and running/exercising/whatever, it's fine, but getting up and actually doing it by myself when I'm not working out with a group? Totally difficult.
What I've tried doing is having a friend call or text me at the time that I'm supposed to do it. Every day at 5:30 I'd work out, because that was my best time. So I'd have my BFF call me to say "Are you going running? GO NOW!" It's harder to lie to her than to other friends, so that definitely helped.
Good luck, and hope you find the motivation! I'm cheering for ya! :)
Oh my gosh that video is hilarious! I laughed out loud several times. Good luck on the marathon, I can't wait to hear about it.
