About a year ago I decided I hated that I sucked at running. I didn't want running to defeat me. So I started training for a 5k, and then later a 10k, and then I started slacking so I'm back at the 5k level... but that's ok. I'm still doing it. And one of the reasons that I love it now is because I've got a pretty sweet Kpop Running Playlist. When I'm less motivated to go, I just think of the lovely music I get to listen to, and that helps motivate me.
So does the lovely fall weather that we have right now, and the early summer mornings, and the start of spring... I am a sissy, though, and I don't run outside after Christmas.... It just gets too cold.
