There’s something about the cold weather that just makes me super lazy in all aspects. It’s not like I even have to be outside to update a blog post, but the idea of doing anything productive exhausts me. I just want to curl up in bed and watch Netflix for hours. That and eat everything in sight. So suffice to say..I haven’t been highly motivated lately. It’s so easy to lose progress in the winter. My body is totally telling me to keep warm. So here I am, stuck with some extra poundage BEFORE the holidays. It’s all a bit upsetting.
Anyway, so I really need to refocus. What better way than a bit of pressure..the worse kind of pressure. The attending-a-wedding pressure. I’ve been really trying to fix my eating habits for basically all of my life. I do believe it is the biggest thing holding me back.
I started to read this book called Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle by Tom Venuto. Though the premise of this book is to build up muscle, it also is a bit contradictory for me to continue long distance endurance running.
Since this Sunday will be my last run of the year, the Philly half marathon, I’m going to attempt to switch gears a bit. It will be three months before the wedding and about 4 months before my next half marathon, the LOVE run.
I’ve also debated whether or not to try for the NYC marathon in 2016. For guaranteed entry, I would have to run nine races in 2015 and volunteer at one event. All the back and forth to NY might get annoying and difficult.
