Winter Blues

By Nicoleao @momfever

Lately I’ve been really struggling to go for my runs.

When I wake up in the morning, my heart sinks a little bit at the thought of having to run. But since the alternative is doing the school run by bike, I always end up running anyway. Sometimes it helps if the alternative to going out for a run, is even worse. And riding my bike alongside my two sons, while they’re fighting about who gets to ride alongside me, is definitely that.

Today is Saturday, and my one day off. On Saturday I don’t have to run. Tomorrow is Sunday, and I always do my long run on Sunday. But I find myself already dreading it. I don’t know what’s wrong with me…

Could it be the Winter blues? Or is running six days a week proving to be too much for me? Maybe I should create a new playlist. Or maybe, just maybe, the sun should come out to play so I can start wearing my running skirts again.

Are you suffering from Winter blues?
