Motivation, or Lack Thereof

I have had a very hard time getting motivated since running the Detroit Half. I think that it is partly natural when training for a big event; there is always a let down afterwards. It is probably a good thing to let my body recovery as well. I have not been TOTALLY lazy, running a few times since the half, including a 6 miler last Saturday. I have a 5K that is coming up on New Years Eve, and that is my next race, so I have a few months to get motivated for that one. I think some external motivation may be needed...maybe something along these lines:

I think I would run VERY fast if I was the guy in that drawing.
