Lack of Motivation!?

I have never had this before and don't know what do do with it! Usually I love to workout, especially if the sun is out. So what is my problem? I thought it was the miserable weather we had last weekend, but the sun has been out all week and I have not done much. I don't want to workout indoors as it is so great out, but suddenly going to work seems more interesting. Does it have to do with the fact that I stay up til 1 am every night? The fact that my eating habits have deteriorated? I havent been eating enough protein, or eating that much, but when I do eat, I eat the wrong thing, including some gluten. By the end of the day, I have to run around with the kids most nights, but when I do not, I am tired and out of the habit of working out in the evening. Maybe I am not used to the spring ahead thing. I am not used to the fact that it is light in the evening. And usually by this time of year, I have had an injury that gives me at least a week or two off. So is it bad to take some time off? Do I need an injury to do so? Am I done working out forever or is it normal to take a week or so off? Has this happened to me before and I do not remember, or is 10 years of triathlon enough and I need to do something else? Like underwater basketweaving, or beadweaving perhaps? I have had many passions before in my life, they come and go. When I am in the midst of them, I cannot get enough, but then they pass. Sure, I may come back to them but there can be years when I am exploring some other passion. What is going on here? Even powerlifting, which I really only took up seriously last summer seems boring. Do I need a new workout or two? And also, I really would like to trail run but I cannot. Trails are so ridiculously muddy right now. Should that stop me? Is this just another excuse? Am I getting wimpy? Would trails on a sunny day before bug season make me happy? If they don't, then is there really something seriously wrong with me?!

Last year, when I stopped wanting to race so much, I still wanted to train a lot. Not so much on the bike, but I still wanted to swim and run. Mostly run, and lift. I sure hope this workout staleness ends. I think I DO need a trail run and a new weight workout. I will work on this tomorrow.

Turkey Trot Turkeys

Turkey Trot Turkeys
The spirit of Saturday's Turkey Trot in downtown Wolfeboro was not lost on these four runners, who got decked out in their Thanksgiving garb for the 16th annual race, which benefits the Wolfeboro Lions Club's fuel assistance fund. Left to right, Lisa Davy of Laconia, Jennifer Marts of Sandwich, Jacklyn Calley of Laconia and John Eisner of Meredith won prizes for their great running gear. See race results in the sports section.
