MARCH!

It is hard to believe that it is already March!

seriously, where does the time go?

After spending much of the last three months on a running/exercise hiatus it is really hard to find the motivation to start up again.  You'd think that a half marathon in 21 days and a ten-miler at the beginning of April would do it. I keep finding excuses...it's snowing outside (today). It's too cold (all last week). I'm too tired (every day). Ugh. This needs to stop! 

I once read that you need 21 days to get into a habit. 21 days of repetition will help jump start whatever it is you are trying to do. For instance, I used to be horrible about 'losing' my keys in my apartment and making my bed every day, in that order. I wrote a post-it on my door and made myself hang my keys on a hook above the light switch every day and make my bed every morning. It worked. I know do both without fail. Hopefully the same will happen with starting up a running routine? I figure that the 21 days until Shamrock will help me. It's worth a try.

I'll get right on it...after a stopover at my grandmother's for coffee and homemade muffins. Maybe running in the snow before lunch with my dad will be fun. I'll keep telling myself that anyways.

Happy March! T minus one week till Daylight Savings Time!
