I don't know if it will work for you, but they became a complete failsafe for me when I just didn't feel like running. The workouts are somewhere between 30 and 45 minutes - and I could make myself do "just 30 minutes" of what I considered not boring workouts. Plus I totally believe they helped me run hills better. Hope it helps, sorry if it doesn't. I don’t know if you know about these, but go google runervals – they are treadmill workouts for runners – speed and hills – coach led.

Okay I was never a runner, but just doing the same thing on the elliptical or the bike day after week after month after year has lost its appeal for me. And I have been using this cough as an excuse not to exercise. Maybe we need to start a support group? I’m struggling with much the same issue.

Your legs won't crumble if you skip running for a few months. I think the previous suggestions are right on target, try something different like spinning or ashtanga yoga for awhile.

I haven't run since Thanksgiving, I think. :) And I'm in California... I think our passion for hobbies wax and wane over time. I think it's okay that you're not madly in love with it right now. It'll come back to you. And in the meantime do the other stuff that you love. The cold weather makes it really hard to motivate. I haven’t run since Thanksgiving, I think. :) And I’m in California…

I'm thinking of taking a spinning class and I'm swimming more. And then what about a relay in the spring? I feel like with the comraderie of those races, you can't help but get excited about running!
