I haven't run in about 2 months..........

I predict you'll come back to it in due time.

I've done the same thing you're doing several times before.

You'll be back.

I haven't run in like a week and a half, I know I'll be going back soon though.

you'll add ten pounds. Better watch out!

The same thing is happening to me right now. It is so not fun. I want to run some days and get out the door and run great, but most days I just feel like I dont want to run again. I too ran in college and quit and was gung ho, but now it is just a drag to get out the door most days. It doesnt help either that I am working full time and very tired because of that. I miss the mid-day naps of college.

you know, sometimes you just need a break and obviously your body and your mind is telling you something. Don't worry about it too much, i think most people go through running ruts several times throughout their running careers. More than likely you'll get the drive back. If not, there's lots of other sports in the sea!

I'm in precisely the same boat. It's clearly a sign

of a transition stage in life. I, too, am considering

going to Nautilus and just jogging perhaps 3-4x a week.

I've been going at it for 20 years (never really very

good sub 37 for 10k and low five minutes for the mile) and when you are standing at the starting line of a race and ask yourself:

"Why am I doing this?"

that should tell you something.

I'll likely always run/jog/trot to some extent (if just for health reasons), it may be that the competitive itch has been thoroughly scratched. I've had numerous injury and major family issues the past six years as well, plus surgery, so the priorities have changed. You are not alone. All part of life.
