I lost my mojo
I'm really struggling with running motivation as of late. When I first started running, I had something to prove. I wanted to prove to myself that I could run, and I did. Then I decided to train for a half marathon and every training run was exciting and new because it was something I had never done before; a new challenge. It was pure passion and dedication. Then I completed a half marathon, proving to myself that I could (and it felt amazing). Now that I'm running with no end goal and no race on my schedule it's just not the same. The excitement has faded. I ran a four mile loop last night and struggled the entire time. I'm sure I walked more than I ran. I hated almost every single minute of it, but did it any way because I know it's good for me and I'm terrified of gaining back the twenty pounds I lost. Most days I think "if I have to run through Barber Park (my regular running route) one more time I'm going to go crazy". Where did the love go? Do you guys ever feel this way? I need a new route. I need a new goal. I need help!
