5k Training Plan Has Been... On Hiatus :/

My inability failure to stick with things that I've started frustrates me. I set out to start things--projects, blogs, training programs--and rarely finish them. I thought the sense of accountability that blogging about it would create would keep me on track, but I guess I was wrong.
That's not to say I'm giving up this time, though. It's just that I have not been as consistent as I originally set out to be. I ran after I last posted-- for 1.5 miles. My asthma has gotten in the way. It's a fact, as I've said so often in the past, that I'd like to ignore but simply cannot. You know that saying, "Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game"? I haven't exactly been heeding that advice lately. I suppose that my fear of asthma getting in the way of my training, in addition to letting my busy schedule talk me into putting it off, has led me to take a break from my training. I haven't ran since that 1.5 mile run. Once I stop running for a few days, it's so hard to get myself back on track.
Here's another thing that has led to me putting off my training: the possibility of going with Chris to New York for New Year's Eve. Why? That means not being here for New Year's Day, which means I wouldn't run the race. The chance to go with Chris to New York and see his family doesn't come around often; the only time I have usually is over the weekend, and it's rare that he gets a whole weekend off of work. So, if he gets off work, we're going to New York. 5k's are in plenty supply in New England; I can easily find one on another weekend.
But what if we don't get to go to New York? The plan is, I'm still running the 5k. Which means, I better get myself back on track. Don't worry. I'm going to do just that. Starting today. Today, I will run. We'll see how it goes with my asthma, but I'm not going to let fear hold me back.
I'll let you know how it goes!
