I Love Running But Sometimes...

I love to run. I have never liked any other sport more than I do running. I dream of someday not having to work and training full time just to see how fast I could get. However, I sometimes cannot motivate to get out the door. We all have those days. Lately they have been from frequent than I would like. I feel drained. To be fair, the last couple of weeks have been tough. First, we were sucked into the whole getting our oldest daughter into nursery school in the city insanity. Second, at work in addition to my work I am doing the work of another attorney who is out on maternity leave. Finally, worse of all we had a death in the family last (Sept 11 of all days). Tomorrow I plan to get back on the road. I am committed to running the marathon for Fred's Team and I am in need of the therapeutic effect of running. I will also write more; it helps me keep focus on the finish line.
