Week 8 run one is here and I find myself not so excited to run. I think part of the problem is the heat which i terribly hate (it makes me run slow and sweat more than I'd like).
The funny thing is I look forward to the run all day, but when it comes time to do it I'm not so excited for it.
Here's a swift kick in the butt to get me out the door this morning before it gets hot out.

Re: Lacking motivation
It's perfectly normal to run slowly in the heat! It happens to everyone! Don't let it get you down.

Re: Lacking motivation
Im at the same stage and have the same problem for the opposite reason, here in the uk its been raining for days so i just cant get up the urge to run, especially since i was ill a few weeks back and i havent really refound my oomph.
Re: Lacking motivation
I wish I could switch with you simongeorge, I love running in the rain! A couple weeks ago we had a bunch of rain and I had my best times.
I was able to do my run this morning, part of the problem is that we only have a couple months of heat here so you can never really get use to the heat. I don't mind the fact that I'm slow, I just don't like the feeling of being hot.
