My motivation to run is having some serious issues lately.  Well, at least the last couple of weeks.  I find that at 5:30 a.m., I would rather be in bed sleeping than out on the roads running, in the dark, following a very small beam of light which is created by my head lamp.  This winter running, with it's dark, dreary and wet days, really suck.  The icy roads of late doesn't help much either.

In order to log my miles I am running during my lunch hour a couple of days per week.  The darkness is gone, but the sky reminds me of a old black and white movie where something awful happens to the main character - like being eaten by an alien.  I don't have to deal with much ice on the roads during the day as I do in the morning, which is rather nice as I dislike "sudden ground impact" situations.

I am still committed to my running streak.  I am still logging 50 miles or more a week, though this week might be short.  I want to reach both my 200th Day and my 365th Day, this is important to me.  To do so, I am reaching deep inside of myself, find new sources of inner strength, just to get out the door.

Happy Running
