How to overcome your blah's unitl spring...motivation!

I know what you mean, here in PA it can  seem like it takes forever for winter to end.  Or we get a nice day or two here and there only to be hit with more cold and snow, like today. lol  My issue with motivation was that I was sick for a week and half, and I just can't seem to get my a$$ back in gear and train.  It has now been almost 3 weeks since I did any training.  Between the two issues it is really heard to get back to training.  I can't wait for spring to get here this year.  As the winter blues seem to have been really bad this year. 

Same thing here in MA. I’d been leaving here for 8 years I am originally from Mexico so I was used to warm weather. For the first few years I spent here it was kind of exciting to have such a long winter, do winter sports, etc. I heard people talking about winter depression but I always thought it was an exaggeration... Now, 8 years later, I don't know if it has to do with my age, my life, etc. but I do get more emotional and of course I get depress around this time. This winter I had experienced mood swings and sometimes I just can’t be constant in many things, such as training. However I keep telling to myself that the summer is coming and in a few weeks I will be swimming/riding outside again! 

Thanks for an excellent post. 

Yesterday was a beautiful day in NY.  It was sunny, and in the 50s.  I had a nice run yesterday, and I was thinking, "Ahhhh, spring is coming soon."  Today it's snowing, and the temps went drom 50 down to 28 in no time flat.  It was another day on the computrainer, but it actually went much better then last week's workouts.  I think that little glimpse on spring helped revive me.

I'll hold on to that vision on sunshine and warmth, and before we know it, it will be here for real.
