Did get out yesterday to get 8 in on the pavement before Phoenix this coming weekend. Only think keeping me motivated is that my training the past 2 1/2 months has been the most consistent it has been in over 2 years. I wish I was as speedy as you are :-) What was the temp like in CO that you were out in shorts?Lorcutthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01528651478547343635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-70949869925398088942014-01-14T10:06:07.656-07:002014-01-14T10:06:07.656-07:00Definitely having the blahs this year for all kind...Definitely having the blahs this year for all kinds of reasons.

It's so easy to be super hard on myself at this time of year when I'm setting all kinds of new year goals (BM qualifying this year? drink less wine? do more yoga?) when what I really need to to cuddle up with my family and watch tv.
