Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Noticed a new article here, so went to read it. It's on motivation. Got all the way through to #9 where it talks about 'just putting on your shoes--you don't have to run' before realizing who wrote it I don't have so much a motivation problem in the winter months, but a 'nesting' problem. Not sure that is the right word, but I find that once it starts getting dark, I want to be at home. I have always known it, but I really noticed it yesterday and today. I was humming and hawing a bit about going for my run today. I was only planning on a short one, about 30 min. Decided I would combine with going to the bank. And that's when I realized that once it is dark out, I don't want to be too far from home. I ran to the bank (maybe 1km away) and decided to just run back towards home and do a loop around the park, rather than going 'around the block'. Yesterday on my usual, tried and true 6km route, I was hating it--it takes me too far from home. I suffer from seasonal affective disorder, so I know that is part of it.

I love ( maybe too strong of a word) working out before sunrise, but hate working out at night when it's dark, especially if it's cold.Noticed a new article here, so went to read it.

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Asalzwed - 2012-11-14 12:31 PM Have you all started (or finished) race planning for 2013? I was totally planning on running the rock 'n' roll Seattle in June but realized I won't have recovered from Boston and ramped training back up by then. So, I'm thinking about holding a really solid base (with lots of elevation/trail runs etc.) maybe running the half in June instead (also a tri or two maybe?) Climbing Rainier in July-ish then a fall marathon? Maybe Chicago? NY? Maybe something local? Ugh ... I dunno. I might want to run either of those once I am a little more competitive? Maybe not. Just thinking aloud. But feel free to chime in 2013 is in the planning stages. I might do a 10 mile trail run in Feb, I have a HM in March. After that, who knows. I will do the local sprint tri in July, possibly an Oly in April/May, and I don't know what else. I have really enjoyed trail running this year and may look for more of that. I MAY try a long course event (Rev3 in October????), but I also may do nothing but drink beer and watch the sunset as well. Motivation to plan is not in the cards right now. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I have no idea what I'm going next season. I think this PF is a blessing in disguise. Now I'm thinking of doing Jorge's winter cycling program If I had the dough I'd travel to Bali to do a 10K swim or something like that (not to mention other extra-curricular activities) ....

Science Nerd ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() So in good decision making, I signed up for the 1/2 marathon that's the same day as the marathon in March. I can transfer up to the marathon before Feb 25 by paying $10, but won't be able to transfer down because it sells out. Still planning to train for the full, but this is a good backup plan in case something comes up. |

Just interesting (or maybe not Fellow SAD sufferer here and I hear ya. It's tough. But honestly, nothing has been better for treating depression like working out has been. For me, it's a hierarchy of goals that keep me going. The first tier are the big goals like general health and wellness, weight loss (2016 trials perhaps) those kinds of things. They are the big goals that require consistency. Next, I have race specific goals. When I sign up for a race I am making a commitment and I am the type of person that, when I commit to something, I like to follow through. I don't feel like I have followed through if I show up to a race where I haven't trained properly (of course, there are exceptions and there are just for fun races.) Last, it's the day to day stuff that gets me out the door. Every workout has a purpose. Some other things that I do are scheduling running dates with friends. It's a great time to catch up. Sometimes I plan routes to check out something architecturally interesting or maybe a new park or whatever (and make time to stop and take a photo.) Sometimes I literally run errands. Running can sometimes be very lonely so sometimes I plan my routes near the stadium when I know a sporting event is going on (makes for some fantastic people watching!) It's important to find the enjoyment in it.

![]() | ![]() Had an interesting workout last night. I spilled tuna salad (of all things!!!) all over my workout stuff so I was feeling particular self conscious running with my group. But miraculously I was totally outdone by someone who had the WORST gas. OMG! I think they may have even soiled their shorts because it smelled awful!!! Anyway, the workout was 3 x 1.25 miles. with 2 min rest in between I ran the first one with the little bit slower group at 6:40 pace then they kicked me out so I ran the last two with the next group up. 6:20 pace 6:28 pace The first one was PERFECTLY paced and wonderful but once I moved up to the faster group it got all egocentric (which I can't stand.) Some of the guys clearly feel threatened by faster women so they speed up! It's so stupid because we are given very specific numbers to hit. (Sorry for the little rant) But overall it was a really good workout (maybe a little stinky.) |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I'm back in Kansas. Work, as I expected, is especially crazy today. I was gone for three days. But I still have a lot of adrenaline from the site visit, so I'm also unusually productive today. (At least, feeling so). Here are my tentative race plans for next year -- it all depends on what happens with the Cali job. June 2013 -- Kansas 70.3 -- maybe, maybe not End of June 2013 -- Olympic distance at El Dorado Sometime in July 2013 -- Olympic distance at Cheney Reservoir (Mudwater) August 2013 -- Salty Dog (Sprint) September 2013 -- Horse Thief Canyon Trail Run (10k) September 2013 -- Run for the Rocks half marathon October 2013 -- Coronado Heights Run November 2013 -- One Hill at a Time (25k) November 2013 -- Wichita Turkey Trot (10 mile) only if my mom is visiting I would like to find a run for December or January. Reece -- isn't there something icy in Kansas City? Is that in January? |

Augusta half marathon or HIM? I've heard really good things about the HIM. Not so much about the town though. |

Less rainbow, more clear! Definitely a sign that the infection is clearing up. Sorry if that's TMI. My husband thinks it's weird that I look at phlegm colors, but it is a good sign of infection. Planning to just do a long walk on the treadmill this weekend and then start running again next week. I have a 10k scheduled on Thanksgiving, so that will be my long run for the week. I have to go to New Jersey for a wedding over the Thanksgiving weekend. |
