I am currently suffering from a bout of the Winter Blues. When I leave for work in the morning it is dark and when I get home from work in the evening it is almost dark! How am I supposed to run in the dark? I understand that I can wear a reflective vest and a head lamp but that doesn't keep you safe from everything. So I have been resorting to using my treadmill on the weekdays. Which, to be completely honest, is very hard to force myself to do. Treadmill running is BORING to me. I feel like I am exerting so much more engery for less output. I try to keep myself distracted by reading a book or watching something from Netflix on my iPad. But it's inevitable....I hit that point around 2 miles and I am sick of the treadmill. I need something to keep me motivated but I haven't found it yet. I have tried zoning out on a spot on the wall, reading, watching shows, listening to music, counting, changing the speed and incline....nothing has helped. To top it all off this last weekend I was sick and didn't feel up to running out in the cold. Terrible excuse...I know. I need to find my focus, force myself to stay on and complete my run. I am going to try setting a time goal rather than a mileage goal. Maybe that will help???? Wish me luck!
