During a run, when I'm tired and facing a big hill, I can usually motivate myself to push through the exhaustion and just make it up to the top of that hill. And the closer I get to the top, the harder I push to hit that crest.
But when I'm running on a long hill, so long that I can't even see the top... motivation becomes difficult. It's harder to give that extra push because I'm already so tired, and I know I'm going to be running hard for at least the forseeable future.
These days I constantly feel like I'm running on a hill with no crest in site. It varies in steepness, but I'm just constantly trying to catch my breath, and I never get a chance to just coast...

You're right, when you can't seem the endpoint it becomes hard to stay motivated. I'm still struggling with all this. I'm trying this whole goal setting thing where I give myself a reward after meeting some intermediate goal. I'll let you know if that works!
My sentiments exactly. I hope you get a chance to coast soon.
Work, baby, life... yes, it can all get overwhelming. I've been there, too.
I hope you get a breather soon.

Hope you get a break soon.
I think you just summarized my life right now too! Good analogy. I find I'm the same way.
