lost all motavation

I don't know diddly about tri's, but here's my offer of help on motivation strategy...

#1: Don't be so hard on yourself! Remind yourself that you already ARE a success:

• Completed the Couch to 5K
• Handled a serious setback by getting the surgery you needed
• Successfully completed your rehab -- WoW!

#2: Baby Steps & Bite Size Pieces:

• maybe your first goal is just to go to the gym one day this week, do a short EASY workout and leave. DO NOT let yourself exercise long or intensively
• next week, 2 days of short workouts (again, don't let yourself do much -- you're teasing yourself back into action)
• maybe add in a FUN activity
• be nice to yourself; congratulate yourself on each step, feel your enthusiasm building, then add a little length to the workouts, etc.
• Congratulate yourself some more, Lather/Rinse/Repeat
• THEN, MAYBE think about signing up for a race...

You can do it!

FOUND YOUR MOJO!

SERIOUSLY, we all get in a funk. 

i have to agree with the bter above how mentions baby steps. since it is the off season...this is a good time to be taking it slow and easy...work on your core. if you can find a workout buddy sometimes its easier to make that comittment then if you are on your own.

make sure to check out all the great forums ~ there are monthly challenges that would be right up your alley ~ and make sure to join a mentors team when they open up

good luck!

just do it.......,I know original huh?

That's awesome! Keep that momentum going!

I've been dealing with some minor but nagging injuries myself that really zapped my mojo. I took a few months off from any training in an effort to heal up and have had a hard time getting back on that wagon too but I'm slowly feeling it again.

Yesterday I did an exhaustive search of all the local races and events in my area...I made out my new race calendar for the year with an optimistic 13 events on it. Won't make half of those... but it has really motivated me to get going! Good luck!
