Month of May v Month of January

You could say there are many differences between the two months, but for myself in the past few days the difference has been motivation. My back pain decided to make a reappearance the past few days, yet I have found a way to run through the pain. If the same pain had happened in January I would have spent the last three days on the couch. The only real difference I have determined is motivation. With a marathon less than two weeks away, I feel the need to "work it out" and still get in some training. If I were running Fargo this weekend, I would pull the plug on that race, but fortunately Green Bay is another week after that, and if the back pain persists deep into next week, there is always Stillwater a week later.

On another note...I am curious to see if or how the meeting between the Vikings brain trust and Green Bay's favorite son turns out later this week. I would be as excited as anyone to see #4 in a purple jersey this season, and if this does happen I will be the proud owner of a Favre Vikings jersey.
