I am stuck in a running rut :(

Does anyone else have this problem?

Running is my favorite form of physical activity and usually I'm happy to go out and run 4-7 miles easy but lately I can't get myself out of the house.

This has happened to me a couple times before, is there any way to break me out of my running rut? I just don't seem to enjoy it as much as I used to.

    Sign up for some races! Give yourself some goals to work towards.

    That works pretty good for me!

    But sometimes I really take some days even a week off the running... But I miss it and I always come back stronger : )

    I agree...sign up for some races to give yourself a purpose and/or take a little time off.

    Okay, thank you all! :)
    I used to run in XC and track and high school so maybe I am just missing the competition.
