I LOST MY MOTIVATION

Years ago, I was extra fit.

Running a bunch every week & going to fitness classes regularly.

Running marathons and doing extreme obstacle course racing.

When things closed down, I did too.

I was doing some things at home, but not even close to what I was doing before.  My runs were very short and I did next to no strength training.

I definitely wasn’t stretching myself and pushing myself.

I lost the drive.  I lost the accountability of going to fitness classes & registering for races.

Last month, I committed to my 1st race in many years.  It’s a Spartan Beast race at a ski mountain close by to me.  It’s 21 kms, with 30 obstacles, through mud & water & hills.  It’s not an easy one.

Since registering, I’ve been kinda running.  Still short distances, but I definitely need to start stepping up the distance + do some hill + strength training because the race is in a couple of months.

I’m following a friend on social media and she is also doing the same race.  I’ve been seeing her training and kicking ass and it’s extra motivating for me.

Last night, I added some good workout music to my phone.

With the extra motivation & the energy I got from the music, this morning I got out early and I ran my longest run in a long long time.

A couple of questions for ya…

 What goals have you set for yourself?

How can you add in a little extra motivation to push yourself?

Let’s gooooooooooo!!!
