So I thought and thought about what I could write about something we all might have in common… Mojo – Drive, fire, motivation, inspiration, my “get up and go!”I lost my drive – mojo, motivation, fire – whatever you want to call it. About 18 months ago actually.
I don’t remember if it was all of a sudden or if it crept up on me, but all of a sudden it was an effort to work out – There was no way in hell I was going for a run…and as for getting up early – Yeah nahhhh. I don’t think so.I am sure you have all been there. It’s not the first time its happened to me, I thought if I wait patiently and stay fit and ready, then by the time it hits me that I am ready to get competitive again, I will be so ready to go that the mere thought of having lost my motivation in the first place will seem like an old joke.
Now as a full time coach, this was a problem for me mentally – I mean, I didn’t stop training, I didn’t stop making sure I took care of myself, but I didn’t enjoy it. It was a chore – and it was something that I made myself do each day….
I LOVE running – I love competing – Ultra marathon is my jam and just knowing I can run for hours on end at a decent pace feels like a magical power, but for some reason it left me. I didn’t want to – I didn’t get any joy out of it.
I tried music, no music, short distance, long distance, racing, jogging, early morning, mid morning, evening…. it just wasn’t going to happen.
But – I knew it could be fixed. And that’s kind of what I wanted to approach with this post. Some of the things I did – to make sure I didn’t drop the ball completely, and found my way back to really loving exercise and my sport. Feeling that fire – and competitiveness again.
Now bear with me because some of these might seems strange or odd… But they worked!
