I need a 'push'

I need a 'push'

I can't bring myself to sign up for the Half Marathon. I planned on running the LI Marathon (but a half, only) and I can't bring myself to put in my credit card info!

I am scared that, like everything else I do, I will give up training/running. This is day 3 of training, and I'm DYING!!!! My legs are sore, my back hurts, I don't want to continue eating better.

I just feel like I really want to do it, and my SIL and some friends are doing it, but I don't know if I can. I am about 30 pounds over what I used to/want to be, and most recently, I have gained about 15 pounds since the wedding. I just can't bring myself to eat right, and go to the gym.

I'm going to the gym today, again, but I'm not running, I'll do the elliptical instead.

Is anyone doing the LI marathon? If yes, do you want to train with me? My freaking SIL is doing the full, so we can't really train together.

I am going to start to journal my path from lazy to marathon runner, but I need my LIW girls to encourage me!

Thanks for reading (if you still are, LOL) Sorry to whine, I understand there are some more important things going on right now.

Download some new music and make a new playlist that you'll love to listen to when you're running! The time may go by a little faster...

Or, if you run the 1/2 marathon on behalf of a charity, that may motivate you because you don't want to let your donors down.

Some more motivation - Victoria's Secret's swim catalog just came out...
