Recently I've lost motivation when it comes to the daily run; it's been cold and I'm not a fan. So in my little mind I thought the best way to encourage the motivation to return was to sign up for a 12 hour event. Never run that far/long (have a few 50ks under my belt) but, here we go. There is work to do in the 25 weeks until the day. I want to drop 30ish pounds, learn to love (or at least tolerate) the gym, and get time on feet. But I'm pretty fired up and here for it. So what does anyone else to to break a slump? Especially this time of year.

Last Friday I was Jeffing in memory of Jeff Galloway. I'm not a habitual run walker, except on days my legs don't feel good, in which case I walk a minute every now and then. Last Friday my legs felt great and I did the running parts way too fast. After 80 minutes of that, I decided I could do 20 minutes of tempo on a hilly bit near my house. The result? Today my legs felt like bricks. I couldn't do anything else but Jeffing. Another example of me overdoing things when I feel good🫤

My son ran his first half marathon in under 2 hours! I ran the 8K at the Portland Shamrock run.
