Fighting the Urge to Just Go Back to Bed

ByTim Nolte

Today was one of those mornings where after the alarm went off I ended spending the next 15 minutes debating with myself whether I should get ready to go run or just go back to bed and get some more sleep. I’m happy to say that running won today.

I will say that probably what pushed me to get out there was happening to read the challenge from the Twitter Running group I saw posted on Strava.

When you’ve been running solo for a year after enjoying running with people regularly for a few years prior it takes a lot more motivation to keep it going. I’d like to say that raising money for clean water was enough, but this has been a challenging fund raising year as well. When it doesn’t feel like your running is really making a difference it’s also hard to want to get out there and get some more miles in.
