I ran today -- 4.3 miles, no time. Yesterday, I had it in my head to run 8 miles today. I figured that I needed a jump start. This morning, I still had just a little bit of that in my head, and that helped me get out of bed (lately, I have been sleeping in on my 'easy' days, making them extremely easy -- not running at all). But today, after getting out of bed, but not at all motivated (plus very tired), I opted to run the 'short' loop (4.3 miles) instead. At least I ran!
I need to figure out a way to stay positive on my running. Lately, I have had no motivation, and right now, I have no upcoming races. I'm thinking of doing a 10k sometime, but haven't even locked that one down. One of my New Year's resolutions is to run 4 races this year (I got out of the 'number of miles' resolution, as that led to a lot of junk miles). I ran two so far, just need two more. Maybe an upcoming 10k would work.

Welcome to the Complete Running Network Family. You'll find plenty of people dropping by just to say hello.
Motivation - find a nearby race and register for it - today.
It's hard when you lose your motivation, I'm struggling with that myself. I find a change of location really helps and I love getting out into the trails. It's so much more relaxing than pounding the pavement.
I'll have to agree with greg on the run - find a race to do and sign up for it- today. It will lift your spirits up and give you something to shoot for. Good luck! by the way- found you on the Complete Running Network family.
Thanks for the feedback. I think yo are right -- running a race will help me get back in the swing of things. In years past, I had signed up for races on a regular basis. This kept me in 'training mode'. I should start that up again.
