Finding my motivation

This is a weird week for me. Things just seem to be conspiring to keep me from the gym. Silly things ... which clearly point to a lack of motivation. So, by things, I mean me. I am conspiring to keep myself from the gym. Not good, Hull!

Monday I couldn’t help that I’d left my ID at home (though Kevin later informed me that he found my ID and put it in my gym bag so I would have it). Today, however, I am letting my dead iPod postpone my visit to the treadmill.

Pathetic, right?

Honestly, I should be at the gym right now! Instead, I am writing about how I should be at the gym. Go figure. The iPod is plugged in and charging however! In 12 minutes I will unplug and head to the Rec Center.

There is just something about getting on the treadmill sans distraction that has me dragging ass. Clearly, I am also bored with the treadmill. Sounds like it’s time to change things up a bit. Now that the days are getting longer, I think it’s time to map out some routes in my neighborhood. Spring Break is next week and I won’t have access to the gym so it will be a good time to create some routes.

Here is a website a friend told me about that looks promising for this task: MapMyRun.com

Doing a quick search, I found pre-mapped routes right by my house! Literally - right past my house! Score! Do it twice and I’ve hit my 5 miles.



This one starts just two blocks from my house ... Woot!



Suddenly, I am super excited! Time to hit the gym!!!!
