Finding the drive

I've lost some motivation.

For some reason not being able to run with Augie this week has made me lose some of my drive to run at all. Maybe it's because I do better when I have a set schedule that in my mind I have to stick to and with Augie in rehab, that schedule was put on hold. I know that may just sound like an excuse, and maybe it is, but I'll be the first one to admit I'm not the most ambitious person on earth. Or even in Gilbert. The only reason I go in to work day in and day out is because I know I have to and because it's on my schedule. Running in the early mornings was always on my agenda too until Augs hurt his leg. And because HE knew it was on our agenda, he helped me make sure it happened. Now I kind of feel like I'm floundering. 

At least I've still been working out this week. It's not like I quit exercising altogether. I just haven't been doing as much running as I think I should with my first half marathon coming up in 23 days.

So the plan is to do a long run tomorrow morning - anywhere between 8 and 11 miles depending on how I'm feeling. But that's only if I can get out the door without feeling horribly guilty because he's looking at me sad and confused because he doesn't get to go too.

Hopefully by Monday morning, Augie's leg will be 100% better and we can go back to our "normal" life.
