Motivation - where have you gone?

As race day is a mere 39 days away, I'm scared out of my mind. This week has been cloudy, dreary, and drizzly for 5 straight days. I think its affecting my mood and my motivation. I skipped a run this week (gasp!) I was supposed to go 60 min. For me that is 6 miles. And I just skipped it. Granted, my sister was in town with her family so that was my excuse. But this close, I should not be skipping 6 mile runs. This morning, when my alarm went off at 4:45am. I pondered turning off the alarm and texting Jenifer that she was on her own. Then I gave myself a 30 second pep talk about how I can't start slacking now. And I got up. It was cold, dreary, and had I not had a partner today, I would have remained in my bed. The next 3 weeks is the most intense training, so if I can just get through that. One day at a time, one step at a time. That is my new motto.
