Lagging enthusiasm

The summer heat has been sapping my enthusiasm for running a lot more than I expected. Being busy with other things and some out-of-town trips has poked a few holes in my regular routine too, but it’s mostly been the heat. I’m ready for cooler weather, but that’s still a couple months away.
Even though this morning was a relatively less hot 23°C (still a pretty warm summer day compared to back home) it was tough to get started and to keep going.
At this rate, I may not reach the running goal I set for myself.
