Losing the Motivation to Run #WhyIRan

ByTim Nolte

It’s rather frustrating how far I’ve fallen in my running from where I was just a couple of years ago. I’m pretty sure a large portion of it is because I’ve lost a lot of what kept me motivated. I don’t think it was ever really about just the running. It was about the and the . Without those two things happening for me right now there is just not a lot of motivation to keep pushing myself.

This year I need to find my way back to community and purpose for running. I’m not quite sure what that is going to look like but I know that is a huge think that took a toll because of and now I need to get past that.

    Finishing The 2018 Grand Rapids Marathon Training

    ByTim Nolte
    Last training run with my running partner before the big race on Sunday. Seems like nothing to run a couple of miles for training. It was a crisp morning that is for sure but it felt like a good prequel to the marathon day temperature. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water Donate to Water – https://timn.me/2t9D4ne
