Inertia

I wish I could say that I was back to running 5 miles 3 times a week. I'm having hard time getting back into the routine. I've run twice this week already, which sounds good, but both times it was a quick loop around campus which isn't even 3 miles. My heart just doesn't seem to be in it these days. I know that part of it is the cold weather but then I ran all through the winter last year so I'm not sure why I'm finding it so much harder this year. Part of it is dealing with the craziness that always comes with the start of a new semester but I actually have an easier teaching load this semester so it shouldn't be too bad. I'm really not sure why I'm not more motivated to get out and run more often and for longer. I guess all I can do is keep pushing myself to just do it (to steal Nike's slogan) and hope that, with warmer weather and a settled schedule, I'll find my passion again.
