Lacking motivation today

11 Replies

I've been looking forward to starting week 7. I was due to do run 1 yesterday but my husband got held up at work so I couldn't and so today is the day. Except it has been a horrible, busy week and I can't find any motivation for it. I know when I get out there I'll love it but just need a bit of motivating today!

A good whack of the hammer will kill the lack of motivation gremlin! Getting out for a run under those conditions does wonders for the mind, think of a nice reward for yourself once you're back. Week 7 is great fun and very rewarding, good luck!

Ahh the week 7 blues. You've GOT to get yourself something to look forward to. I use an app called "Zombies, Run!" but any app or playlist or route that gives you something to look forward to, something you want to try, something to give you that extra push --- that's what you want. It's just getting out there. And you know how great it is when you finish.

STOP THINKING!

Put your trainers on, head out the door and

JUST DO IT :)

Thank you all!!

I did it! And in the 35 minutes I went 5.14k!

Ive no idea if this is good as today is the first time I've recorded how far I have been.

And I do feel amazing!
