Sabotage or just laziness?
So, I only ran twice this week...Saturday and Tuesday...a total of 6 miles. My plan was to run when I got home tonight (I have flex-time so I can run when I come home and still have time to make dinner), but I just plain old didn't feel like it. Plus I stopped at Heinen's first to pick up some beef kabobs for dinner (yummo, by the way!) so by the time I got home it was a little bit later than normal...plus it looked like rain...plus {fill in any lame excuse here}. You would think that I would have stayed extra motivated this week as tomorrow is the start of a new month of weighing in so it counts! In other words, if I am not within two pounds of my goal weight tomorrow...(cue the dramatic music)...I HAVE TO PAY! I have not had to pay at all since I reached lifetime in November 2009 so this is a big deal. What I'm wondering about myself is, however, am I doing this to myself to make myself have to pay to kick myself in the ass and get re-motivated in terms of running or am I just plain lazy? I guess no matter what the reason is, the common denominator is that I need motivation. I feel like I've been "resting on my laurels", so to speak in terms of my activity level, specifically. It has been fairly easy to maintain so far as long as I run 3-4 times a week and track, etc, so I feel like I can slack a bit. Plus I don't have a tangible goal anymore to work towards and I know that I'm a person that desperately needs that. I guess I just need to set one then, huh?! But what...ugghh...perhaps I'll do some research on training programs for 10K's and look for one to sign up for...okay, deal.

have you heard of Team in Training? It is supposed to be a really good organization and you raise money for a good cause.
