Team Player

Self motivation baffles me. Sometimes I have it, sometimes I don't. When it comes to work, I generally have it (the exception being my last post). But when it comes to running- I'm still in my quest to be a "runner"- I have a hard time pushing myself. I know what my body can handle and I stop when I get there. Since no one is there pushing me along, I don't push myself either. It's sort of a lose-lose situation. I think that is why I like team sports because having other people with me, I keep my goal. I'm not only fascinated with running, but also with triathlons. I'm watching an Ironman competition, its insane. I can't even believe that people can do it. My ultimate goal would be an Ironman, but for that to happen I would need to run a marathon and not die and be able to run in an less than 4 hours. I think I am going to stick with 5Ks.
