New Regimen

So I went ahead and started my new running schedule a day early because it was a beautiful morning and I thought it could only help get me going for the next 30 or so weeks.  Today was simply running or walking for 30 minutes.  I used the MapMyRun app and ran for two minutes and walked for one minute until I got to 30 minutes.  In 2009 when I trained to run my first mini marathon, I had a pace of 9:30 to 10 minutes per mile.  By the end of this run/walk, I averaged about 12:30 per mile and had a distance of 2.54 miles.  I feel pretty good about that.  I wish that I hadn't accidentally washed my old iPod in the laundry a long time ago... I never did recover all of the songs since my laptop stopped working. Sad face.

Lack of Motivation

I want to lose weight.... I want to look toned.... I want to look like I did 10 years ago....

These are thoughts that I constantly have, and yet, I pretty much never do anything to meet those goals. Do you ever feel like you really want something to happen, but it remains too abstract that you simply can't motivate yourself to consistently work at it? And then it just seems like being lazy?
