It's only just recently that i have been having a little
trouble with motivation. My passion for running seems to
have declined a little over the past weeks and i'm not
particularly happy about it. I am struggling to find the
time to get all the things done that i have to and it's
starting to become a real problem for me! I don't want
my running to suffer as i want to get better and better
at it. I have noticed while reading a few other's blogs
that i'm not the only one feeling like this at the moment.
I guess from time to time everyone must get it i suppose.


Monday Evening - Treadmill Hills (5km/15km)
Warmup 1.3kms slow jogging pace then
2.5kms of hill running on the treadmill but this time i
chose to do 2mins at 12degs then 1min at 4degs then
1min at 6degs repeated for 16mins. This proved to be
much harder than 1min of each. To finish off i did a
cooldown jog of around 1.2kms the first half of which
was at 6degs and the last half at 4degs. Also a set
of reverse arm pullups.


Monday Morning - Medium Street Run (10km/10km)
Out this morning for a 10km run. I could feel right from
the start that i was having a hard time of it. It was like
the feeling of losing about a month worth of fitness!
I got through it in 56:25 which really isn't that bad but i
feel that my greatly reduced mileage over the past 3 or
4 weeks has made quite a difference. I must make a point
of trying to keep the mileage up as much as possible each
week.
