When the weather is cold and you wake up in a nice warm bed (and you just happen to be the best procrastinator in the world) trying to find the motivation to drag your warm butt out of bed and train sometimes comes down to having friends that are way more disciplined than you. That friend of mine convinced me that I see would meet me at our local state park and run with me.
As I rangle my 2 dogs into my SUV, they are so amped up that I'm starting to rethink my plan of bringing them. I know that if I get to May (3 days at the Fair) and bomb, it's no ones fault by my own. I have a hard time knowing that I am the one to drop the ball on such an awesome charity and it's no ones fault but my own. So off we went to meet up.
After some coaxing of Niko to settle down and just run, we were off. What a gorgeous day to be out with my dogs and running partner. I've been having a hard time lately keeping motivated. I remember the days of just getting up, throwing on some running clothes and going; not thinking twice about it. Now, on my days off, I like to hang around the house and do whatever. I would love to have the drive and discipline to head out faithfully each morning and get it done!
So we ran. And ran. And ran. In reality it was just under 4 miles and exactly what I needed. Henry (dog) was pooped but Niko (dog) could have gone on forever, which I will definitely utilize later on in my longer training runs. I am also grateful that KK (way more motivated running friend) made sure I was locked in for running again tomorrow, same bat time, same bat place.
