With my goal of running the Twin Cities Marathon in October as I was planning, now I am forced to re-look at my relationship with running, which I love so much.  I still need to continue running because of my Army career, but need to re-asses.  And so, after talking to my podiatrist he recommended I focused on shorter distances.  At least he did not say no running.  Because I am a goals oriented person, I have to set some milestones and so I signed up for a few 5K and 10K runs over the Fall and hopefully this will motivate me to train again and keep my body from breaking down in the process.

Hello friends.  It has been a long time since I posted anything.  This have been out of sort in the fitness area and I am feeling very unmotivated.  Part of it is my foot pains (which completely derailed my Twin Cities Marathon in Oct), part is my thyroid causing all kinds of issues in my system and part of it is the passing of my father four months ago.  All this has snowballed into a massive blob of "unmotivation".  

I am trying really hard not to lose my love for running but I cannot get myself to put on a pair of running shoes to save my life right now.  I haven't even been to Crossfit.  Do you guys get like this?  Ugh...its the worse.  So, I've joined a running group here at Fort Leavenworth and signed up for a few 5K races (which my podiatrist tells me I can do) and virtual races.  I am hoping this will help me get off my behind and get moving!  Our first race is Armed Forces Day race scheduled for 8 September and let me be honest when I say that the only motivation for this is the cool medal we actually get in the mail!

What do you do when you lack motivation beyond belief?
