My Mojo

My running mojo has gone. It's official. It's almost as if my appendix contained my running mojo and when it was removed on the 7th of February so was my love of running. :(


I ran twice last week, a 2.5 miler and a 4 miler. Both runs were pretty horrible. The 2.5 miles was my first post op run so I was understandably wary. I came through it unscathed though. A days rest then it was time for my next run. I wasn't really feeling up for it, but that's nothing new! The run was terrible though. It started badly, tailed off in the middle and ended poorly.


Since then I've not even felt like running again. The Lochaber marathon is 4 weeks on Sunday and the way I feel at the minute there is no way I'll be running it. It may be better for me to take a bit of a break and come back to running once I'm 'feeling it' again. I'm just not sure what to do.

  1. I'm not an expert but I think you should stick at it. The longer the break the harder it is to get into something again.

  2. Sorry to hear that you're not feeling it. Give it a chance, go out with a friend on a new route maybe it'll come back. I hope it does. xx

  3. Hi Leslie,
    I might have a way to bring back your fitness mojo...

    I'm working with HealthRally, a new software company focused on health motivation. I found you via your tweets, so I'm assuming you are health-oriented, tech savvy and like to try new things.

    We'd like you to try HealthRally and give us feedback before we bring it to the public. We think you would be a great fit.

    HealthRally.com is a private social network where you choose a health goal like losing weight, pick a reward that could motivate you, and then invite your close friends and family to cheer you on and motivate you to succeed with pledges toward your reward.

    It's a new approach, and we are seeing our first group of users achieve their goals and have a bunch of fun in the process.

    Can I send you a link to sign in and try?

    Just send me a note at justine@healthrally.com

    Thanks!

  4. That is a very nice gift to yourself for a good health because without a good show you can not run or walk at all.You need a very good sports show indeed.
