Trying to shake the funk

The last week or so I have been in a running funk.  I haven't been motivated to run, at all!  I am that mom who goes every where with her hair wet so that I can have my morning run.  I am that mom who bribes my kids with candy to get in the stroller so I can run.  I am that mom who wears my running skirt to drop off my oldest at preschool so I am ready to run. 

I'm just not sure what is up.  I can't decide if all the Christmas festivities threw me off track.  (Or all the Christmas eating.)  Or maybe it is because I am not on my normal daily schedule.  Or is it because I am ready to start the new year with my new years goals.  Or if I am nervous about my first half on Saturday. 

So tonight, in order to possibly help shake the funk off, I thought I would go out for a second run.  (I haven't pulled a two a day since my college soccer days.)  I had no expectations except to just go out and run for a little bit.  (I did take my Garmin so I would know how far I had gone.) 

I set out at 9 pm and just ran.  I didn't go fast because well it is pretty dark out and there are still quite a few puddles out.  I didn't want to fall flat on my face.  The weather was great, 60 degrees.  Felt like spring.  I wish it felt like this all year long in Texas. 

I ended up running 2 miles in 22 something.  I do feel a bit better.  Hopefully I will be ready to go on Saturday for my first half!
