Thanks for this post. I’ve run for forty years, so lots of dipping here. I try mixing up my route, listen to a variety of podcasts, music, recruit friends to run with me, and hang at the gym three days a week. As I approached the starting line of the Malibu Half last November, I thought who needs this! I’m driving like a crazy person at a ridiculous hour to fight for a parking space only to be there way too early, which I hate, and pace around til the start. I had to focus on the beautiful day and recognize that I GET to do this running thing. It is a gift and the pregame is just details.
I had to stop reading the post for a minute I was laughing so hard. I was pre-med until I hit Organic Chem. And, now I'm a psychologist. Go figure. I have a question - how long can dips last? I had two accidents this past summer and have had difficulty getting back to running. I have gotten the okay from my doctors but just seem to have lost my motivation/energy. Any suggestions? Thanks.
