After my run this morning, like any obsessed runner I went over to the computer, before showering, to upload my run data. As my stats wirelessly uploaded from my new toy (the Garmin 610), I manually entered my run into dailymile and then meandered over to Facebook to see what my far-flung friends were up [...]

Strange Motivation
Posted in motivation, tagged insomnia, mojo in a box, motivation on June 24, 2011 | 4 Comments »
Last night I went to bed around 11PM. My alarm was set for 4:10. I was planning on a 12-mile run, 7 miles of which would be run at half-marathon pace. I had even programmed my new Garmin Forerunner 610 to monitor my heart rate to make sure I was running the proper zones. Unfortunately [...]

What do you see when you look in the mirror? Are you thinner, heavier, taller, shorter, better looking or not as good looking as you really are? If you really look closely, and honestly think about it, I bet you can answer that question. Now, if you are a parent, what do you see when [...]
Mojo in a Box – part I
Posted in motivation, tagged mojo, mojo in a box, running on June 22, 2011 | 6 Comments »
Cycles. Everything moves in cycles and that includes our motivation. Sometimes the speed of the cycles is steady, sometimes it varies. As some of you know, my mojo has been at a nadir for some time now. I have been unable to get myself going – there’s always a half-decent excuse, which is great if [...]
Symmetry

A big, fat 0. That’s the number of miles I have run in the last 7 days. 0. Zip. Nada. I’m definitely starting to get a little grumpy. But now I am battling myself on two fronts. The fire, that internal engine is still stuck in neutral; motivation to train is at a low; but [...]
Unintentional

It’s been almost a week since my last run. I’ve officially only missed 4 runs on my training schedule and am most likely to miss a fifth tomorrow. Although I am starting to feel a little antsy, I don’t have that sense of urgency that has driven me in the past. When I wrote a [...]
Luau 2012

I am running and quite frankly I’m a little disappointed in CNN. Tonight is the first official debate between 2012 Presidential Nominee hopefuls for the Republican party. Forget the fact that I’m not a Republican, but come on CNN, not even a phone call or an email or a tweet to ask my opinion on [...]
Quicksand and a Rope
Posted in motivation, other, Uncategorized, tagged autism, Autism Speaks, Dr. Geri Dawson, running, stress on June 10, 2011 | 18 Comments »
I am running – pounding the treadmill. My demeanor is calm, almost stoic, but I am sinking. Sweat is dripping out of every single pore of my body. I am drenched. The display of the treadmill is spattered. I’m waiting…waiting for the endorphins to kick in; waiting for the wave of “feel good” to wash [...]
Boston Run To Remember 2011
Posted in race recap, tagged Boston Run To Remember, race recap, running on June 7, 2011 | 10 Comments »
Maybe it was the high expectations I had of myself. Maybe it was the fact that the heat & humidity beat me into submission. Maybe it was that at one point in the race I quit – I simply gave up. Whatever the reason, Sunday’s race did not go according to plan – and I’ve [...]
Dude, Where’s My Mojo?
Posted in motivation, tagged running, running mojo on June 3, 2011 | 23 Comments »
I’ve run 15 miles this week. All at once, late at night. That’s it. I just haven’t been able to get my butt up and out in the morning. There have been excuses – Tuesday morning’s 13-miler I skipped because I was recovering from Sunday’s half-marathon race. Yesterday’s 5-mile recover run I skipped because I [...]
