Motivation

I'm trying to find my motivation or drive to run again. Lately is beginning to become inconsistent and blah. I want to find some way to find my love for running again. Any suggestions?

Let us know if you plan to come so we can keep an eye out for you. Another training group meets there too. There's usually 4 - 8 of us BeachRunners there. We'd love to have you join us!

Don't feel too bad. We all lose our "MoJo" once in a while. I lost mine not long ago and I'm finally getting it back. I just had to back off for a while and find other things that kept me active so I wasn't just "sitting around." Before I knew it, I began running again. I decided to run fewer times a week. That way, I didn't feel like I was commited to running every other day. It took a few months, but when the MoJo comes back, it comes back bigger and better. Enjoy this time to explore new things. Running is always there. As are we. Good luck!

Uncle Sam...I know I was being super strict with myself...Not missing workouts...being very mindful of what I ate...just trying to be disciplined to get myself back on track..Well I started having knee problems & wasn't feeling so hot...so I finally said the heck w. it...told myself to ease up...and do what Steve & Gary always tell us...RELAX!!...what a concept...Although you think you're relaxing while running you can still get over involved with the process...Anyways whataya know...I'm feeling pretty darned good now... I even skipped the 3 hr run to do the Nike Rerun Remix with a friend not on the team for fun...And it was a blast...I'm so glad I broke up the training for myself...I figure I'll make up the 3 hr run this weekend...you really gotta break things up...Try something new w your routine...go to the batting cages, a hike, bike ride or have brunch with a friend after the runs...and when all else fails Play hookie :) Hang in there...WE ARE SO CLOSE!!!
