Motivation Comes After the First Mile

My wife once said to me when she was getting ready to go out on a run. "I don't feel motivated to do this, but motivation comes after the first mile." What she meant by that was that sometimes you have to get out and get moving even when you aren't feeling any motivation and often once you get going you feel motivated to continue. That is what I've been doing to get motivated with all my training lately. On days when I don't feel motivated, I get up and at it anyway. Sometimes motivation follows, but not always. Even when motivation doesn't come, I at least get my workout in.

Some days it is easy and fun.

Some days it is a chore.

Just get up and train.
