Training Update--Where's My Motivation?

It's now only about 20 weeks from IMAZ!!!  I can hardly believe how quickly the time is passing.  I have hit a training slump.  I have not gotten in the pool in a month, I haven't biked in weeks, and I recently ended my attempt at a Memorial Day to Labor Day run streak.  Ugh.  I need to find the motivation to get back on track.  I've allowed myself to get sidetracked by work, moving, and family stuff the last few weeks. 

I ended the run streak after I started developing a nagging pain in my right shin that would become a sharp pain even after a short run.  I decided that I didn't want to risk shin splints or a stress fracture so I cut the run streak short.  This reaffirms my belief that I am simply not an every day runner.  So, I've rested my legs for a week and I think I am ready to get out and run again.  I had hoped to run a marathon in July in Northern MN.  Now, I am not sure I am going to be ready for it and I am not sure the race will even be held after the recent flooding in Duluth.  I think I'm just going to have to play it by ear.

I am thinking I need to find a tri to get my motivation back on track.  There's a trifamily race on July 8th that I may end up running.

Here's hoping I find my motivation soon!!!
