Thanks everyone!! I think that all of you hit the nail on the head! I do run with an interval time (which is why I know I only run for a couple of minutes) I just downloaded an app that will time my intervals and announce the beginning, middle and end of the interval. It will play over whatever playlist I choose. That way, I can't look at the clock as easily and I will have music to distract me. I also really don't care for running, but I really like the benefits I get and how much it helps my cycling. I do like the idea of making dates and specific times for my runs, I will try that.

I have just started riding with a group of women on monday nights. I've only gone once...last week it rained so we didn't get to go. It is nice because no one is in a hurry, it is a real casual 20 something mile ride around the lake, chatting the whole way. I also may try to find a running group or at least run with my husband (although he gets up awfully early, LOL!)

I love yoga...hot yoga in particular. lately instead of going to the studio where it is 100 degrees, I've just been doing it in my backyard where it is 100 degrees, LOL!

A couple months ago, I had this same type of mental challenge. I was having a really hard time getting past 30 miles or so on my bike. I finally realized that it was because I wasn't eating enough calories in general and carbs in particular. I decided that I wanted to eat more for performance now than weight loss. Mentally, it was really hard to start eating that many calories since I had been eating around 1200 for the past year. Now, I only let myself have no more than a 500 calorie deficit on any given day. Been doing this for about 3 months now and I feel so much better on our long rides. We are doing our first 60 miles this weekend. We've been doing 50 mile weekend rides for the past couple of weeks. Aiming for 100 by the end of august!

Thanks for the pep talk and suggestions! I am going to get my playlist together and start fresh on monday!
