Money don't get everything, it's true What it don't get, I can't use

Money.

Sometimes I wonder if my life is ruled by money. In fact, i'm past that now. Now I just wonder how much my life is ruled by money.

It's not like I really think about it all that much. In fact I probably don't think about it near enough.

The only reason I have concluded such a thing is that, well, everyone's lives are ruled by money.

Okay okay, I kid.

Peoples lives can be ruled by greater things such as love, the gospel, truth yada yada yada right?

Back to money.

The real reason I conclude this is because of one thing, running.

As stated in a previous post, I have run 2 half marathons before. (run should probably be replaced by quickly sauntered, or briskly trotted, or any combination of those words). And then I wrote about how I'm training for my third.

That was 5 weeks ago. So in theory I was implying that I would start training then. Ha! nope. Maybe one week after? Nope. Two? Nope. I started training, well never. NEVER?! What am I doing to myself.

I know the second I line up at the starting line I should just prepare for my jog/saunter/run/crawl trade off. Or maybe I should just jump on the slow people golf cart and save myself the misery. Let's see, usually at this point i've got at least 10 miles under my belt. Now I could probably run  4 without stopping... over half the time...

So what does this all mean? Well I don't really know. But what I think it means is that I am motivated by money? Or something?

Round one half marathon I paid for and trained, round two same story. Round three? nope, didn't pay for it. Therefore did not train? So is that where my whole motivation came from for the first ones? Due to my research background these days I can conclude that paying for the race is the only variation to account for the change in my training time spent.

Or in pure Engligh no dinero=no traino

Shoot.

That means i've got less then 2 weeks to either kick it into gear, and I mean SERIOUS gear. Or don't and see what happens on race day. I sadly (due to the last 5 weeks habits) think that the latter will happen.

Sorry Lisa, that just means i'm going to disgrace your name as I jog/saunter/run/crawl as you. I apologize ahead of time.

As for now I better go check if they have a sign up for the slow people golf cart... or go running ha! yeah right...

  1. Ha ha ha ha! No worries. Just enjoy yourself and if you don't want to run, don't run. I paid the money and it still didn't motivate me to train. Have fun!
