at two different times this year someone has approached me and suggested I run with them. While my interest in returning to regular running has existed longer than this blog, my self-motivation is severely lacking. I think overall I prefer running alone, but since I haven’t been running much at all, I figured making a commitment to another person would get me out the door. I have a much easier time keeping commitments to others than I do keeping “commitments” to myself, so having someone with whom to run is a good solution to my motivation problem. Except the first person who approached me with this idea, ended up frequently having something pressing that had to be addressed when we were suppose to be running. Eventually, she just told me this wasn’t the time for her to be trying to to establish a regular exercise schedule. The second person started off good for uh, oh, two weeks. Then the crazy summer schedule of a mother of five and their family vacations suspended that running partnership. There is the possibility of resuming running with her in the fall when kids are back in school, but for now, it looks like I need to figure out on my own how to get myself out the door.
