I have been a runner (off and on) since 1978 (I am 54 years old now).
10 years ago I ran my first marathon, and in 2003 ran my 2nd. I have
also competed in numerous 5k, 4 mile, 10k, 10 mile and half marathon
distances. I considered myself an avid runner, and pride myself on what
I have accomplished in the past. I have had periods when I didn't run
(for various reasons), but only found the mean and motivation to get
back into it.
Over the last year my motivation has ben zero. I have tried all my old
tricks - registering for races, buying new shoes, going to bed earlier,
reading running magazines, etc. but I have ZERO motivation at this
point, and I don't understand why. I haven't been running hardly at all
since October, and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. I love to
run but I just can't seem to get myself up and out the door. I am so
jealous when I see people running down the road, and then when it comes
to thinking about getting out myself, I find some bs reason not to go.
Anyone have some tips and tricks to help this runner regain his motivation?
