Lazy is a Four Letter Word

I haven't blogged because I haven't been running. I've been a lazy SOB. And I'm ashamed of myself.  No excuses, no reasons. Just plain ol' laziness.  It happens to me too often and I need to couteract it. I have no willpower. When the laziness comes over me I can't fight it. I won't  fight it. Tomorrow's a new day. A day for me to attempt to fight off the laziness and drag my behind to the gym.  I do know this - I won't be running in the 5 miler next Saturday. I won't be in any kind of shape to run even half of it. I do plan to walk though. I figured that's better than nothing.

I'm going to slink off in shame. Hide my head and try to get my act together.

Hanging my head in shame

I know in my last post I was all gung-ho and talking smack about how I'm back and track. I'm off the wagon....AGAIN! I haven't trained in two weeks. I have been working out. But I haven't been doing my 5k training. The moment is started getting tough, I sort of gave up. Not totally gave up but I started finding reasons to avoid my 5k training podcast. It varied from I downloaded new music and wanted to workout to that instead to there was a real funny episode of Friends on that I wanted to watch for the 100th time while I walked on the treadmill. I am ashamed of myself. How am I going to be able to run a 5k by September if I don't stick with the training? Do I think that on that day I'm going to magically be able to run 3.2 miles with ease? SMH.

I don't know what to do to get the motivation back. Like I said, I've been in the gym, working out, pounding the treadmill (walking). I dread hitting the up button to increase my speed to 4.6. I think I've psyched myself out of being able to do it. So now I got to psyche myself back into being able to do it.

I will be able to get back on track....eventually. I'm going to start one step at a time.

We shall see. I will keep you up-to-date as my journey continues.

Ta! for now
