you're doing it so that you can have a kick-butt Longest Day team!!! woohoo!
Hey PB, have you got a short-term goal you can aim for that will get you inspired again? It seems to me that you might need to remind yourself why it's fun to do all this training, and just doing more training isn't going to give you that feeling. I know you're not supposed to race all the time, but I personally find that my committment drops off if I've got nothing that sort of forces me not to skip sessions ... like an imminent event. Even a 10k trail run or something ... to remind you of the spirit of competition.
Also - are you comparing what you can do now to what you used to do before the twins? I think you need to constantly remind yourself that your priorities have changed, and congratulate yourself for much smaller achievements than you used to. This is the thing I find the hardest - because I really want to be able to devote as much time as pre-kids, and be that flexible and committed, but I just can't be. I get the sense that you're just too hard on yourself when you miss sessions or when things don't work out as planned, but actually when you take into account what else you're working on - a full-on job and 2 *extremely* full-on toddlers - you're being a hero to fit in as much as you're doing.
