I officially hate training now. My last three runs have sucked. MOST of the last long day was good, but I suffered for the last 2 miles and just wanted to quit. Now I have to force myself to get the shoes on, and I am coming up with a million better things to do instead of training...
1. Wash the neighbor's dog
2. Kill the neighbor's dog
3. Dig up last year's papers and re-grade them all. Longhand.
4. Hunt a gray whale with a high powered rifle
5. Reduce my forces in the war against idiocy by 30,000
And to make it worse? Cap'n Ron is motivated and running away from me as I sit and type this.
So, come on folks, send along the motivation. Let's hear it.
Is it October 7th yet?

That's some funny shit! Best stuff of the whole summer. First, Cap'n Ron is NOT motivated. He is bored stiff of training and wants it all to be done with..... again. He's running faster because he is bored and really needs to find a new lunch time route. Second, Cap'n Ron didn't run a 1/2 mary at near 7 minute pace just over a week ago.... as a matter of fact, 7 minute 1/2 mary is a pipe dream for Cap'n. Give yourself a break and let your muscles recover from the overuse. You'll be back in form by the weekend.
Ciao,
Cap'n Ron
Motivation!

There - did you get that?
Oh, not sufficient? Hmmm. Well, what about a change of style? Instead of thinking of it as training, how about a nice jog through the arboretum? Or some other pretty place?
Or, take the Cap'n's advice and just take a break. Do something school-like. Running will look good again in no time. :)
G,
Let me echo the goodly Cap'n and Cag. Take a break, think about school (how about getting your syllabi done or helping me with the HonProg or not), rest those muscles and . . .
GET A MASSAGE!
(A really nice one where the therapist gets in really deep (none of this "me love you long time" stuff).)
Instead of washing the neighbor's dog how about giving yourself an an ice bath (have you been doing this?)
Drink a nice bottle of wine. Let me recommend a nice 2004 Malbec from Ruca Malen.
Listen to the "Life in Mono (Alice Band Mix)" by Mono while drinking said wine.
Soak in a hot tub while listening to "Life in Mono (Alice Band Mix)" and drinking said 2004 Malbec.

Now RPD's definitely got the right idea!
Now let's see...
Aging male.
Busted Bone in foot.
Gijillion bucks for funny looking shoes.
Brick Wall hitting.
Smelling the asses of the fast ones in front.
Having to drive to places like Portland.
..... Priceless....
Running should only be the result of the "Fright and flight" reaction to a Big Fuggin' Bear or Bull heading your way...
I vote.. Drink wine .. Lots of it.
(Have bottle, will travel)
R.a.t.
If you kill the neighbors' yippydog, I'll run the marathon for you.
Also, I have dibs on the bathtub. And the wine. And the massage.
