Surprising lack of motivation

Two weeks and counting to the Chicago Marathon! I'm done with all my other races and have nothing to focus on but the marathon, so I should be zoned in, right?

Nope.

Don't get me wrong. I've gotten some training in. The past week and a half has seen me complete a 20 mile run (barely), an 8 mile tempo run, a shortened speed work session (cut short as a precaution because of some knee pain), and a bike ride instead of a run. The problem I'm having is the amount of effort it's taking to get me out of the door. Prior to this, I was worried I would try to cram in too much mileage and over train, but it seems I'm having the opposite issue.

I was supposed to log a 13 mile run over the weekend, but I haven't done it as of yet. Tomorrow is a new day, and hopefully I'll be able to get in that long run along with the rest of my prescribed training runs in the little time I have left.

Maybe what I need is some added motivation. Sounds like it's the right time to watch Spirit of the Marathon- Chicago. If that doesn't work, maybe I'll ban myself from eating Chicago goodies like Portillo's or Lou Malnati's if I don't get the training in.

Witness the power of food.
