Finding it hard to get motivated - Triple Marathon or the pool

Since I pulled out of the last ultra with injury then took it easy for a few weeks, I'm really really finding it hard to get motivated again. I'm changing my mind like a little child about weather or not to enter the coastal challenge in November. 7 weeks away, I know if I start again this week I could get back in shape for it but plain and simply, I seriously don't know if I can be arsed to run that much already again. Recently I've been doing Monday to Friday training, which has been a mix of cycling, conditioning and running and then just having the weekend off where to be honest except for this weekend I've been drunk as a skunk most Saturday nights. Saying that it's been fun to just do 'normal' amounts of training without letting it take over your life, which I find almost impossible for ultras, especially if you want to do well!

The second reason is that since watching Ironman Wales last weekend I've got it in to my head that I really really want to do it next year which means I need to get swimming lessons because I can barely swim, let alone swim 2.4miles in the sea, and cycle much more. Even though there is a year to go, I'm one of these people who gets far to 'in to it' as I always want to to the absolute best.

I'm in two minds about wheather or not to wait until after the Coastal Challenge (November 21st) then start stepping up the bike and swim especially more than the running or to start now??

I really cant decide. Some one told me the other day though, to go for one more big running event because they thought I was getting closer and closer to winning one. That's pretty humbling but it's a lot of repetitive training which for some reason I'm struggling to motivate myself for, something I've never found hard since I started all this fitness.

8 weeks this weekend, but I'm having a night out in Cardiff next weekend so wont do much in the way of back to back long runs, so 7 weeks training it would be....

I could do that, one more push then 100% swim and cycle with Ironman a certainty for next year!
