March not-check-in

Hi Runners!

Hope you're having a great March so far! Mine sucks. I've lost my will to run. No I have no idea why. I've never been this unmotivated for marathon training since I started six years ago!

So tell me something good about your running today, why you do it, why you like it, whatever makes you happy when you run.*

* or just feel free to complain (about the weather, about how your favorite shoes have been discontinued, anything you want)

Good things about my running: I ran 13.5 miles today, my longest distance ever! Also it is almost spring here so on my runs I have been hearing birds and even spotted some new greenery in areas where the snow has melted.

Despite the improved weather, I feel like it has been taking a little extra effort to get outside and run. In the worst of the winter I had to plan carefully around weather and darkness to fit in my runs - now I can run almost anytime and it gets easier to put it off for no good reason.

Best wishes for regaining your motivation!
