Exercise Motivation

write a to do list

attempt to do one task for 5 minutes

do not force yourself to continue

make a cup of tea or coffee

non caffeinated herbal tea if you are feeling anxious

coffee if you’re used to it!

take a nap with warm blankets

maybe you need a full break from your work

watch your favorite movie but do not allow yourself to touch your computer/phone while its playing

surprisingly this act of focus can help you to later be motivated to focus on a task later!

read one chapter of your favorite book

take a shower in dim lighting (but stay safe)

if you are in a dorm and do not have options for dim lighting, try leaving your phone flashlight on near your shower, but again do not do this if you are setting yourself up to slip

2020 is my seventh year recording my miles in a training log! I started back with a simple one that I found at Barnes and Noble in 2014, won a Believe Training Journal for 2015, and have then continued using Believe and Compete journals ever since! I wish I started keeping track even sooner, but that’s okay! In 50 years I think it’ll be pretty cool to be able to look back at my “glory years” 😜 Lots of memories, both big and small, are in these books!

Mileage through the years:

2014 - 1,380 (Anemia diagnosis halfway thru year)

2015 - 1,640 (First 26.2!)

2016 - 2,016 (26.2 x 1)

2017 - 2,105 (26.2 x 2)

2018 - 2,073 (26.2 x 1 + 50k + 50mi)

2019 - 2,210 (26.2 x 3)
