I took a walk along Crissy Field today after work, figuring that I should have some sort of physical activity since I hadn't done much all week because of the rain, the cold, and my slight cold. It was beautiful and still sunny and warm when I got out there. There were quite a number of people lying on the beach, riding bikes, and running along the water. I wasn't wearing the proper walking gear (I had on my work clothes) and my feet started to hurt. But, I made my way to the Bridge (or as close as I could get to it) and back.
It has been difficult getting motivated to run over the last few weeks. I blame it on the winter doldrums. But, I know I am regressing in my marathon training. I'm getting worse, and I feel like in no time at all, I'll have to start over from the beginning with the training. So, perhaps it's time to change up my routine. Maybe I should start running in the evenings (I used to only run in the evenings when I was living in Berkeley). Maybe I should change my route. Maybe I should run every evening after work from the school, to the Bridge, and back, or maybe just along Crissy Field.
I think I'm going to start by leaving extra running gear (clothes, shoes, and water) in my car since there has been more than one occasion when I wished I had them with me so that I could go for a run and didn't. I think it's a good start.
