Motivation

This month I stated running again. It feels brutal but so good. Every time you restart an activity after a break its a balance of enjoyment from being able to do it again, and disappointment from not being where you were. I’m running slowly, but enjoying running without pain for the first time in over a year.

I have signed up to a challenge of running 100 Km in the month of February. I personally, feel like I need a goal or sense of purpose to get out of the door on a wet wintery day.

I like to have a list of goals, some achievable ones that I can tick quickly to keep me motivated, and some that are more like dreams. Having something to work towards is keeping me going during lockdown 3.

Today though, it had snowed during the night and it felt like running in Narnia. I was up with the sun and running on unmarked snow. I love this time of the day, the birds are singing, its super quiet and you feel like no one else is awake.

Finding motivation in the beauty of winter.
