Missing motivation

I seem to be unable to motivate myself to run.  I think I have the reverse problem from the rest of society…as soon as I sign up for a race I lose all inspiration to train.  I’m OCD enough to eke out some willpower, but forced running is not fun running.  I know myself, so I know the difference between being bored with my running route and being bored with running in any form.  Boredom is not my problem.  Motivation is.  I’m missing my running mojo.

Natural foods highlights & trends

Soooo, I racked up 🙂 Poor Kyle could hardly eat breakfast as I sorted through my loot from Expo. He said I was like a pirate laying out my prized possessions captured goods. I think it’s safe to say, I have a lot of lunches ready made. I couldn’t even fit all of it on our dining table. I have more than piles of “health” food to show you though.  I actually did go to the Natural Products Show with a purpose (beyond hoarding). [Browsing the booths before the show opened to the public] Since… Read more >
