Motivation, where are you?

It's pitch black outside...I can imagine the sound of my shoes hitting the warm pavement...but I can't move from my chair.  It's amazing what stress can do to your body--I'm exhausted.  I know the best cure for my frayed nerves is to move, push my limits, and clear my mind.  

In an attempt to motivate myself, I added a couple new songs to the ever-growing, fantastic, running mix. 

1. When you're ready--Kate Earl
2.  Haven't Met You Yet-- Michael Buble
3.  Replay -I-YAZ
4.  Shut It Down (Ft. Akon)- Pitbull
   
5.  Feeling Good-Michael Buble
   
6.  Hot Mess-Cobra Starship
   
7.  I Want You Back-Jackson 5
   
8.  Starstruck-30H!3
   
9. Apologize remix-One Republic
   
10.  Sexy Bitch-Akon
    
11.  I'm shipping up to boston-Drop Kick Murphys
    
12.  Love Drunk-Boys Like Girls
    
13.  She Wolf -Shakira
    
14.  No One LIke You-Scorpions
    
15.  Another Way To Die- Jack White & Alicia  Keyes
    
16.  Act A Fool--Flosstradamus
    

The last thing I want to do right now is go running.  I have to remind myself that I decided to do the marathon--there is never a good time to decide to do something like that.  I always make excuses, "But I just started my Masters..I just started my job..." but...life is never going to be on pause.  I have to commit myself to this.  It's not the working out part that gets me, that's the best part, it's the long runs in the heat of Arizona.  Sometimes, mid-run, I can sense the temperature change, I can feel the morning start to fade and the heat of the afternoon take its place.

Running at night is easier, cooler. But, I hate running in the dark. Maybe it's the quiet that gets me, the absence of busy life around me. Alright, marathon....you win out over sleep deprivation.  

"The marathon can humble you."
