Sometimes I just don't want to....

It is after 2:00pm and I am still in my running clothes.
I came home from work at 8:30am and put them right on.
I had pure intentions on doing 6 miles today.
It never happened.
Ironing. Cleaning. Washing dishes. Sweeping. Cleaning. happened.
And I am ok with that.
I want to constantly run three times a week.
To get to that point will make me really happy.
But today is about doing whatever,
well actually getting stuff done,
except running.
Then Bruno Mars pops in my head...
"Today I don't feel like doing anything"
I probably should go get ready for work now.

I wish I could stay super consistant.
I get an a good groove while training for a race,
then after a race the drive totally drops.
I am fighting myself to go running.
I have given myself a week or two of the
lazy approach to working out.
I haven't pushed myself.
I haven't ensured I get my runs in.
But I finally have the drive back.
At least I hope.
My run today went fabulous.
It felt good to get out the door and get it in.
I have learned I really like running earlier in the morning
then later on in the day.

I don't have any races set for the rest of this year yet.
There is a Nike's women's race in San Francisco
in October I feel like signing up for.
Because I do have a goal before I die to run a race
in all 50 states before I die.
A cool race I am looking forward to is a marathon in Alaska!
I hope I can reach 50, or even half.
That would be so awesome.
