Does anyone else suffer from lack of self motivation to get out and run regularly and long lately? I have been in a running maliase since mid-January. I came off a great year, ran my 1st 100 in late Oct, enjoyed the **** out of it, I had been doing great through the holidays and continued to run long and with great pleasure past the New Year, but these past 5-6 wks, just have sucked. I started to feel heavy legged, then I felt a bit better, ran a long run, but stupidly wore shoes that have always been a bit too skimpy for long runs, and started a bad bout of plantar fasciitis. I'm good for up to about 8 miles, but my heel is still in pain. If it were only the fasciitis, I think I'd feel better, but I'm just not too motivated to go out in the cold, icy weather. I've become an expert at the good excuse. Help! I need some external motivation, commiseration, to get me back on track. Whine, whine, whine...sorry.
