Yeah. Been there and bought several T-Shirts. You’ve just lost your mo-jo.

There is only 1 cure. Go for a run. The first few will be hard, but before you know it you’ll be back in the groove.

You’ll be buzzing again.

That old saying no time like the present.. been there finally found mojo lurking in great outdoors .. rebooted C25K just over 4 months ago now back to 12K ish on way to 16K ..

There is no secret to it .. running shoes on deep breath and out the door.. it is nice to have Laura back for some reassuring words in your ear too .. 😁😁

You know that feeling of euphoria and accomplishment at the end of a run. I want that as many times as possible. Remember how you were in run one? I don’t want to be that unfit ever again. It’s taken you so much effort to get where you are, don’t let yourself down and stop. Get those shoes on tomorrow and get your butt out of the front door!

I know how you feel but you don't want to lose what you have gained. I eased myself back in gradually did a 20 min run then 25 and finished with 30 if that's any help
