Lazy fall?

It is now 2 weeks since I completed my race, and I am officially losing motivation in running. Fall is here, J is on a new work schedule so he has weekends off and the yankees are in playoffs. I have true distractions from letting me run, but its my heart that is wanting it less and less. I have a few good workouts and I am a lot more random. J and I went for an hour walk on Wednesday and it was very strange to be walking on my running path. I ran a few miles on the treadmill and it just wasn't the same... its like running for short miles is not worth it to me. I am enjoying this new season but I have this fear when it comes time to train for a race I will be back at square one. Or will my body just bounce back and endurance take over again? I just love fall- cozy candles, home cooked meals, rainy days, dark afternoons and baseball playoffs. I am grateful I don't have weight to lose or cholesterol to lower but its hard to not feel lazy when in fact you are lazy. Is being lazy now working out 6 days a week as oppose to 7? What is lazy... gosh I need balance. The way I look at is I love spending time with Jeremiah more than anything and I should just enjoy it while I have it- even if he is my distraction I wouldn't want to spend fall with just my treadmill, the husband is way more interesting.

  1. Yeah! Would be really sad to spend all fall on a treadmill!! And 6 days a week is NOT lazy… or else, I'm a complete sloth. :D PS -- so good seeing you guys in the city the other weekend!
