Where's my motivation?

I started easing back into running again after a week out of running due to my ankle. Nothing to write about really. Here's the breakdown:

Sunday: Light shoulders
Monday: Run (1.0 mile run, then a 0.5 mile interval after a brief walk)
Tuesday: Pullups/pushups, bicep curls
Wednesday: Run (1.6 mile run, then a 0.25 mile interval after a brief walk)
Thursday: None
Friday: None
Saturday: None

So, what's my injury report? My wrist is gaining more and more range of motion, but there is pain here and there depending on what angle. I'm off of any wrist supports/wraps now and am just working with lighter weights. I'm still stretching my wrists whenever I remember to slowly loosen up that joint. As for my ankle, it feels fine during running. I can't really rotate my foot that much and the outside part of my ankle is a bit tender still. Luckily, these things don't matter when I'm running in a straight line. I'm no longer wrapping, as the tape actually irritates me when I'm running.

The thing is about running lately is that I have no motivation to continue. First day back, I did one mile. I suppose that was okay since I was more or less testing the stability of my ankle. Second day, I did 1.6 before it started getting difficult. Normally, this is where I turn it on and get my head in the game. But, I went, "meh" and took a walking interval. The drive isn't there at the moment. Hopefully this week will be different. I want to at least get back to running 5K 2-3 times a week, preferably outdoors or at 2% on a treadmill.

I've been thinking about my weight sessions lately. I think I'm going to take this opportunity to change my workouts again. Change is what shocks the muscles anyway. I've been doing pretty much a split body workout. Bodyweight on Day 1, shoulders/legs on Day 3, back/chest on day 5. Not a bad schedule, but the pressure not to miss a workout is high. Missing a workout means missing working a muscle group for a week. And I feel I'm not taking full advantage of a split body workout by not doing it twice a week. So I'm thinking of doing full-body workouts 2-3 times a week. So, I'm going to sit down and figure out how I want to do this. I have a general plan, so it'll probably be something I'll start next week. We'll see.
