Getting Motivated
Oh well!!
We all feel like that sometimes , we are just not motivated to run ,reason your have just lost a love one ,injured, lost your job or whatever it might be, you are not alone .
It’s good to take a rest but not for lone, as time passes you loose your fitness so it is crucial that we do not wonder of for too long in our downwards phase
The tough part is getting back on and running again, here is a good example where a running buddy is important, you can bet he will calling you everyday because he needs you just as much as you need him/her. One thing I do to get back on track is to sign up for a major race, this limits my time and I am forced to push my self and get my focus back. Running is your mediation time it is your peace of mind, we all work really hard all day and some of us even has family that we attend to after , the kid the home chores, all the running around ,bills to pay it’s just a lot for us to do in an everyday life.
The one thing you have and you enjoy is that 1-3 hours that you spend running every evening in the park, I call it MY TIME. I will do whatever I have to do everyday but all I need is 3 hours to be outdoors doing something to benefit my health, so much of us complain of the winter oh! It’s to cold and when winter comes we turn on the A/C and still stay inside, STOP!!! Go outside to your local park, take your neighbor of family and do something.
When training for major races I always class myself with the elites, I run as if I need to win, I train as if I was an Olympian, I am untouchable. We runners are the few who can be in the same event competing with out icons, we run in the same race with the world record holder, we meet them and they so nice, even our fellow runners are really nice to us, it is the nicest environment you will ever find yourself into, such great sportsmanship.
You are apart of this community, you belong here, pull yourself back and put those sneakers on.
My coach (Luthalo Yohance) back in Trinidad once asked me why do I train, I was 10 years old ,I was kind of struck back with the question but his reply was we train so we can do something today we could not do yesterday it’s all about getting better and better.
Remember you are an athlete now, there is no stopping you, we runners are addicted to running there is something in it that keeps drawing us to it. Picture your self crossing the finish line of your favorite race and I’ll see you in the races.
