For the past few weeks I’ve had trouble doing anything other than getting myself to work and then coming home (and even that wasn’t easy). I really dislike the lack of daylight and I have very little motivation in the morning to leave my warm and cozy flannel sheets and down comforter.
But this week a group of us met Tuesday and Thursday at 5:30 am to run. Tuesday there were four of us and we ran 4 miles and Thursday there were three of us and we ran 5.5 miles…in the rain. Peer pressure is such a great way to get me out of bed. Plus I felt so great Tuesday and Thursday knowing I had already done my workout for the day. If the weather cooperates this weekend I hope to run 8-10 miles on Sunday morning.
I am not sure what my 2009 season looks like for racing. I use the term racing loosely; I generally just participate in the events. There is a half-marathon in March that I have done for the past two years that I will probably do again this year. There is also the Lake Anna sprint triathlon that has been moved to May that I will probably do (registration does not open until January). There is also another half-marathon in May that I hope to do. I didn’t sign up for any of the big races that I have done in the past because I want to do more local smaller races. So with those races to motivate me and the Tuesday/Thursday morning runs I may be able to survive this winter.
