This morning I finished my walking warmup on the treadmill and just stood there. I needed to run 3 miles but I couldn’t find the motivation to restart the treadmill.
I stood there contemplating my options and decided to just call it quits. No run for the day.
But as soon as I stepped off the treadmill daylight from a nearby window caught my eye. It was light enough outside for me to run! I gathered my phone and headphones, jetted up the stairs and was out the door in a matter of minutes. Finished 3.21 miles in 31:26, a 9:48 min/mile pace.
Sometimes it’s not that we’re lazy or unmotivated, we’re just bored and need to switch it up. After a full winter of mostly treadmill running the idea of fresh air running was all I needed to get my head back in the game and finish my workout.
Next time you feel the blahs and can’t find the energy to push through, try switching up your routine or environment. It may make all the difference.
