I have not been motivated to run lately. I’m trying to figure out why… it might have something to do with the 3 W’s.<\/p>\n
W<\/u>ork <\/strong>– I’ve spent way too many hours at work lately. When I finally leave, it’s hard to find the time to relax. Sleep doesn’t come easily these days, but when I finally fall asleep, I sleep hard and sleep deep, making the 5:15 AM gym time easy to avoid.<\/p>\n W<\/u>eather<\/strong> – the weather is starting to cool down (it’s in the low 60s at 5:30 am now). The heat of the summer just beat me up and sent me indoors.<\/p>\n W<\/u>eight<\/strong> – my weight is hovering… I have been unable to drop further than the 15 original pounds from last year. While I attribute some of it to muscle conversion, I attribute the rest to the fact that I like to eat.<\/p>\n Truth be told, there are 4 W’s that I cannot stand – only three listed here. The other W is the one I helped put into office (only the first time), but I digress.<\/p>\n I think I need to move a bit further up the alphabet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have not been motivated to run lately.
