Struggling with motivation this week.
Absurdly I have signed up for a triathlon at the end of June. I can do all three elements (although swimming I have only done in the pool and its a sea swim). I am slow and I have to come to terms with the fact I'll be last in (probably with a good margin).
I am finding training really difficult. I have intermittent bad back, knees, hips, wrists and feet. So some days all good, others I struggle. Usually something hurts when I get up it then eases and then by then end of the day something is hurting - sometime the same sometimes different.
Its hard enough to go out and train when nothing hurts but really hard to muster the enthusiasm when it does. Also it is easy to give myself the excuse of not going because something hurts.
Psychologically I get fearful/reluctant of the exertion, not a fan of being puffed out although cloud 9 once I've done it!! the longer I go without doing it I get worried about not being able to.
On top of my own training issues I am trying to help my 4, 7 and 9 year old train for a 1 mile run they want to enter in 2 weeks so have been on 3 runs with them today to help but no proper training run for me. not enough hours in the day.
Just wanted to let it all out really, not really anything that can be done.
