I’m really having motivation issues lately. I’m going to type some rambling mumbo jumbo here as I talk myself into going upstairs to do a treadmill run.
working is hard. i’m tired. there’s a pile of dirty dishes in the sink. i’m tired. i don’t even know if i have any clean running shorts. i could pull some out of the hamper. ewww, that would be gross. no way am i doing that. so forget about working out. man, i really need the endorphins. need to burn some calories too. but, hey, i was good and skipped the cookie today at lunch. it was a free lunch too. some hot sales guy from Barracuda treated the office to lunch. did i mention he was hot? okay, there’s my motivation to workout: hot guys. hahahaha. okay, gotta run now!
I am with you on that one. But when I’m low on motivation I think of athletes like you who have balanced work & family & training to complete an Ironman!

Just remember the way you feel after your workout. It is always my motivation. I feel so great when I am done so if you can rememer that it might help. 🙂
First time commenter, short time reader. I love your blog! Hey, sometimes our motives are “less than ideal,” but you got your run in, right?
Working full time only leaves so many hours to complete everything else like household chores, grocery shopping, training, having fun with family. It is totally understandable that you would have decreased motivation after completing B2B and then starting your new job.
Been reading your blog for about a year now, and I must admit, that this post made me smile…
You actually ARE HUMAN after all….
Welcome back… 🙂
