Outside, white feathery flakes are softly falling, sneakily creating a cold blanket on the ground. The sky looks bleak with no indication of friendly rays pushing through. It must be cold today, and I will probably have to run... Making a run in the snow again is just the summit of my issues.
The last time I ran was exactly a week ago. Between then and now a whirlwind of events occurred for which I have been waiting for over two months, none of which (not surprisingly) involved running. Now they are past, and it's been seven days since I deliberately raised my heartbeat exercising and it's frigid and snowy... I want to remain inside curled up in a ball, warmed by blankets, seemingly without any type of worries. It's true--already I lack motivation (thinking more about the struggles I will have running than anything else).
And yet...
Today starts the official training time period for the Cherry Blossom Run. Running out of motivation is not permitted. I have to trudge forward. Mind over body? I'm not convincing myself.
On days like this I am thankful I have someone else pulling me along.
