As I lay in bed this morning I was hemming and hawing about hitting the road for my scheduled run until I heard this story on the local news radio station. Sometimes the motivation to get me out the door isn't warm and fuzzy. Sometimes its downright depressing news like this that reminds me why I need to get my butt in gear. Some mornings I need more motivation than the normal "I love running and everything its done for me and my family" inner monologue. 15 minutes after hearing this report I was on the road.
