Motivation Missing

I'll admit it. I'm lacking motivation right now. My training schedule is not beyond my abilities but I somehow manage to sabotage myself at least once or twice a week. I'm still getting 3 to 4 workouts in but not the 5 that the plan calls for.

Yesterday I was to do a run and a swim. I don't like doing the run first because it really makes the swim difficult. But if I waited until after my swim I would be really late for supper. I chose to not run and go home instead.

On the plus side my swim was really good. I timed the first 400 meters and it was the fastest to date. I did another 450 meters at a relaxed pace and they too were faster then my top speed last year. But I just couldn't make myself turn for the running track instead of my car.

I felt like I was letting myself down. But at the same time, I realize that if a run wasn't in me I would really be disappointed in the results. My run today was 4 mile and I kept a good pace for the first 2 miles and the 4th miles wasn't too bad either.

But life is going to get in the way the rest of the week. I will be playing Grandma with two of my grandchildren for the rest of the week. I have one more week of work until I'm done for the summer. Then I promise to follow my plan a little better. At least I have good intentions.
