I need to figure out a way to find some motivation for running. I start training for the Long Beach Half Marathon in a month (July) and I need to get a running base going before I start training. My running has been sporadic and my endurance is not as good as it used to be.
Since I skipped out on my run this morning from lack of running motivation, I opted for a bike ride instead. I did this nine mile loop...it's a familiar running route that I sometimes do, but I run in the opposite direction (against traffic). When I rode in the "correct" direction (going with traffic for safetry reasons) this morning, there was this challenging hill near the beginning of the ride. Since I usually run in the opposite direction and I knew that it was a challenging hill (which was why I always run in the opposite direction), I didn't realize how challenging it was. My legs are still feeling a bit like jello now because of this challenging hill. If I ride on this hill often enough, I'll get better and stronger.
