I am certain no one has been perched on the edge of their seat waiting for an "I Don't Run Fast" blog post. My lack of consistency blogging is mirrored by my lack of consistency running over the last 6 months. Not doing either has developed into my daily routine a routine that I am not proud of. What is infuriating is that I know better. I know that I am the only one capable of altering my routine, yet I don't. WHY? Even acquiring a canine running partner that I have to take out daily at the same time I had always run hasn't gotten me back out the door. I have become quite accustom to slipping back into bed rather than heading out for a run burying my guilt under a pillow.

This has been a really aggravating experience. I have written about motivation and tricks one can use to get out the door but I have not been able to do it myself. As a running coach I preach up and down about not making excuses about getting out the door but I am not practicing what I preach. I know better, WHY?
Over the course of my own fitness journey I learned that it was easy to waste time trying to figuring out why than actually doing. So much time in fact that it becomes the excuse to doing nothing at all. Proving in my opinion that when it comes to taking care of ourselves that we can come up with almost anything consciously even subconsciously to avoid it.
However today I did it! I got my ass out of bed an ran. I don't know WHY, I just did it. Its amazing the feeling of accomplishment the simple act of finally getting out the door provided. Unfortunately, I have lost a great deal of fitness during this recent hiatus but….. I am back at it. I will keep you posted.
