Hanging my head in shame

No, I haven't been to busy to blog. I've just been ignoring my own blog. I only use it to check other blogs I follow. All the while, I ignore the fact that I fell off the exercise wagon again. No suprise there ... it's the story of my life. But it doesn't make it any less sad to see that I gave up again.

After that last run in August ... OMGosh was it that long ago??? Anyhow, after that run I got really sick that weekend. So I lost a few days, and should have jumped right back in there to finish Week 3. But I didn't. That week Chad called his branch manager and started the process for us to PCS to the mainland. Shortly after, we learned that we'd be moving to Ft. Stewart, Georgia. I can't tell you how much of a funk this put me into and I've been battling it ever since. I am depressed about leaving Hawaii, to the point where I don't even care about where I'm at with my running. When I think about all the madness of moving over the holidays and not having a place to live for over 30 days, I can't even focus on the day to day things that need to get done - let alone an exercise program. And I really don't know how to pull myself out of the funk. It's not like this is my first PCS - far from it, but everything in our life is so perfect here in Hawaii that I don't want to leave it. Sigh.

Maybe what I do need is to hit the pavement again. It can be very therapeutic. I've thought about getting started again many times, but I always come up with an excuse or something else I "have" to do. If anyone has some extra motivation lying around, send it my way!
