Morning !

If youre full of cold , youre not going to feel like running Youre not lacking in motivation , youre ill . Please dont be so hard on yourself, wait until you feel a bit more like your usual self . You could always take yourself off for a little walk if you feel up to it .

Take care, hope you feel better soon xxx

even when am not loaded or ill still lack the motivation to do any run

I do understand, I was due to go out on a run last night, by the time I got home from work ,I had practically talked myself out of it . Even when I was putting my running gear on I didnt feel like it at all. It was cold, I was tired, but once I got out there and started, I felt okay and when I came home , I was just so glad I went !

Sometimes, action precedes motivation ! xxx

You can have a few days off til you're better but you can still eat healthily, if you feel like eating that is. Get back on it as soon as you can. Take a huge hankie out with you 👃😀

Come on, you can do this 😃

OK, so what you do is you get out there for a little walk which will help your cold a wee bit and tell you something more useful about whether you are really up to a run or not.

But when you've done that, and you're OK, as wise folk here have said before, forget waiting for motivation - it will catch up with you if you just get your stuff on and go. Honestly, the thinking about it is *way* harder.
