Hayley (of Born Squishy) is back! Her return post is exactly what I needed to read right now. I’ve been feeling a little let down since the race, and it’s been hard to get back into the gym when I don’t have a clear-cut training goal anymore. I’ve given up on weight loss as a reliable metric, so what’s left to motivate me? I think Hayley’s provided me with an answer.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

i’m right there with ya, sista. running 40 minutes a day four times a week was a lot easier to do when (1) it was 30° cooler out and (2) i had a tangible reason to do so. i’m hoping to get back on that horse, running 30 minutes three times a week for no other reason than to get back and keep that level of fitness i had a month and a half ago.
that and the fact that i’m not feeling quite as svelte, nor can i indulge the way i could when i was in training. best of luck to you in rediscovering your motivation!
Thanks. I didn’t feel very runnish last night, so I decided to try my weights workout again (which I haven’t done in months). Good GRIEF. My legs were fine from all the running, but my arms and abs have turned to jello. I’m damn sore today. But it was a nice change of pace.
