I felt motivated enough to run after my work out at the gym. It felt cool and it was cloudy when I made the decision to run. Right when I started to run, the sun decided to come out. I don't know if it was this sudden burst of the sun being out that caused me to get bored and lose motivation or if it was something else, but I felt totally the opposite when I was running. That makes me disappointed and frustrated.

I recently joined a running group on meetup and they normally meet in Brea. There is a running group that meets in the town that I live in, but I don't like their running schedule. Morning runs only on Sundays. Evening runs Monday through Thursday. The meetup running group meets on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday mornings for runs, and Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings for runs. I think running with other people will cure my motivation problems, and I just need to run with others once a week. So I plan to join the group for a run tomorrow run and we'll see how that goes.
