There's a lot that I wanted to say in this blog post that I realized that I shouldn't put on the Internet. In short, I've had a lot of struggles this month in my running and I have found every excuse to not get out on the roads: Too tired, too busy, too icy, some problems with my foot that I'm pretty sure are my fault. The long and short of it is that I just don't have the motivation to get out there and train hard enough to run half marathons or even think about longer races.
I'm deferring to the 8K at Virginia Beach. There's just no way I can possibly be in half marathon shape by March 22, for a variety of reasons that are almost all my fault. I am going to try to train for the Wild Half Marathon in May in Wildwood, NJ. But beyond that, I don't know. Right now, it just doesn't seem like running is something I enjoy anymore. I've just completely lost my motivation. It goes beyond running, but this is just a running blog.
My lack of motivation to write this blog has probably been obvious to anyone still that still reads it, with declining entries each year, reflecting fewer and fewer miles. What's the point of a blog w less than 2 entries per month? I really do thank you for reading it, though. I appreciate all the comments, and encouragement, and support over the past 4+ years. If at some point in the future I'm feeling a passion for running again, Earn Your Donuts might possibly be back, too.
Thanks and best wishes.
