Hmmpff
So I feel blah and hmmpff.
Three days of not eating right and then feeling unmotivated to exercise. I have exercised though. And then yesterday with what happened to my leg just put me even further into a hmmpff mood. I need motivation and plenty of it.
I was going to go out running this morning but it was pouring with rain and I was a bit behind in chores so did those instead. While doing house keeping activities I just kept getting dizzy spells and nearly fell over a few times while folding the towels. Don’t know what that was all about.
Anyway I have been out and about today with Dayna, sort of a mother/ daughter morning out. It was nice. When we got home I checked emails and noticed I had one from the radio station.
It asked if I was still keen and if i could commit for the 6 weeks, willing to get a Dr. certificate, willing to juggle my life so can meet up as a team at least once a week, willing to go on the radio and give reports which also means having info published about myself eg. weight. They are announcing the teams tomorrow for a start date of 3 November. Anyway I said yes and have my fingers crossed.
I think it is just the motivation I need and at the right time. Please cross your fingers and toes for me too.
Will give you a report tomorrow of the outcome.
Also all advice of finding the right motivation would be handy. For those that run what do you think about? I find I run and am thinking about the run and the distance etc which I think is making it harder than it need be. Thanks in advance.

Hmm, what do I think about. I guess it depends where I am. I often look at the scenery, people’s gardens, people doing things outside (if you’re around a suburb). Try and alternate where you run to give you some variety. Maybe if you’re running the same route you just need to have your mind stimulated by seeing something different.
Sometimes I think about work, or the timing of training in the coming week, or start planning dinner in my head. Again it depends where I am.
Go places where there’s lots of other activities taking place so that you can sort of distract your mind from feeling as if you’re trudging along.
All thing that can be crossed are crossed. Looking forward to knowing one way or the other about the competition.

I’m with Anita re the radio competition. It certainly sounds promising. And if you get accepted that will be your motivation as you’ll be so accountable to at least all the Wellington listeners that you won’t want to stuff up.
