Motivation...

Motivation is doing something that you know is good for you even when you don't want to, it doesn't mean that you have to be enthusiastic, you just have to DO IT... That said, I am going running this morning even though I have yet another head cold (or the same one that won't quit) and I didn't sleep much (3 year old up twice, dog emergency potty at 4:00 a.m. and I was up for the day). I don't know what I have to do to get the requisite 8 hours of sleep aside from retiring at 7 with the kids... Maybe that's it. I have got to go to bed at night... I have to start listening to my self...

We are in a major cold snap. The only real one of the winter and it couldn't have come at a worse time. I am SO counting the days until spring. This weekend's run is 18 miles and the projected high is 24 degrees. Oh, and its supposed to be breezy... DELIGHTFUL... I think I need to move. In 2 weeks I'll be running my first race of 2006 - Boston's Run to Remember Half Marathon. I am looking forward to a great run - it's a distance that I really seem to enjoy lately. Hopefully the weather will be agreeable.
