Running Diaries

                I’ve lost it!  I don’t know where it went or when it actually disappeared, but its hiding and I’m trying desperately to find it.  I’ve come across a few different articles and sayings lately about what makes you a “true runner” and I’ve found that there are different times in the past few years where I’ve related to what a true runner is but right now I can’t relate at all -- and it makes me sad.  It’s gone and I just can’t seem to find where my running mojo went.  Yes, my running mojo.  No, it wasn’t an injury and no, it wasn’t a bad experience.  My motivation just kind of slowly slipped out of my hands during the summer. 

                I’ve always been one who has my high moments where running is almost addictive and my life doesn’t function unless I get my run in for the day and then my low moments where the only reason I get my lazy tush out the door is because I’ve committed to running with a friend; but right now is lower than I’ve ever gone before.  (Sigh).  I’m human right?  Does anyone know where my mojo could have gone to? 

                So, where do I look first?  What is my first step to finding my mojo again?  Any help is greatly appreciated.  My first step -- hmmm.  Ok.  Tomorrow I will commit to getting up at 5:50 am to go for a run at 6am with my brand new running shoes I bought tonight.  Who can resist a first run in new bright lime green running shoes?  Hopefully not me.
