Weather Forcast

The weather forcast for today is rainy with a chance of rain later in the day. This evening you can expect some more intermittent rain.

What is this? I feel like I am living out west. To make matters worse it seems that when it is nice outside I have a spin class scheduled. This doesnt help my dislike of this time of year. I have been having a hard time with the shorter days this fall. Don't seem to want to get out of bed in the morning. This may also have something to do with not having an immediate goal. Ever since IM LP I have been lacking in motivation. It isn't that my body doesnt want to do the work, in fact it feels great to exercise. The problem is with my brain. I look outside and will find any excuse not to go out. It is getting dark. It is wet and I dont want to get wet and then have to clean my bike. I seem to be full of all these pathetic excuses.

I need something or maybe somebody to kick my ass and get me out the door. I did manage to run last night again. I have been off with a bit of a foot injury for about a month. It seems some bone has slipped in my foot which makes it feel like there is a pea in my shoe. I hope this is just part of an adjusment period to my attempt to run with a more natural gait. IM training caused me to adopt the shuffle approach to running.
I am now on a mission to learn to run with proper form. I grew up with a few guys who cold really fly. I always admired how light and quick they were on there feet. I realise now that alot of that had to do with their form. Proper form is what I hope to adopt in the next year before I attempt to do another IM. I want to be able to run like these guys. Check out this site http://www.chasingkimbia.com/ if you want an example of how it should be done. Yeah yeah I am dreaming to think I will run like that, but I have always believed to learning from the best in whatever you strive to do.

With another cross race looming this weekend I will keep my fingers crossed that the forcast and my motivation improves.
