You can ether throw in the towel or you can use it to wipe the sweat off of your face.

We had a cross country meet in Grinnel yesterday, and their team is one of the best in the state. I don't really focus much on placing or team stats. Just about improving upon my own times and stuff. I got a side stitch at about 4.5k into the meet (5k race). This is normally where I would push for my finish and pass a good number of people and make a good time. My side stitch was so bad I couldn't breath, and I just couldn't push through it. I still had a decent time, but it makes me wonder how… Continue

I had no motivation today. None at all. I was supposed to go on atleast a 30 minute run for xc and I needed to go lift for soccer. So, after lunch I finally sucked it up and went to the local YMCA. Went through a pretty good lift, grabbed my portein shake, chugged that down, waited half an hour and went on my run. Even though I kept feeling that protein shake come back up on the first part of my run, it was one of my best runs. I feel great, and I felt like sharing that. ha ha

It's december, and I have trouble waking up every morning in the cold without doing a run. I have basketball practice everyday after school so I can't run then. I have work or homework every night after basketball practice so the only time for me to run is in the morning. I however am failing terribly. I just cant find the right motivation. Anyone have any ideas?
