I've had a lot of distractions in my life recently, some practical, some medical. Somewhere in the chaos i've taken my eye off the ball.
Funny how this stuff blind sides you, before you know it old habits start creeping in, excuses are made and your goals aren't realised.
I'm sure this happens to everyone at some point, so my question is 'what would be your advice on staying focused, breaking through a slump and realising your full potential as a runner'?
 
My advice? Run as if your life depends on it. It does. :)

(Years ago, loved reading in a printed RW, "The hardest steps are getting out the door." Once out and moving, gratitude, breath by breath, step by step. Then when "high," chuckle why ever hesitated one iota. :p )

To your health! <3

Thank's dharmadan

I haven't stopped running, just lost sight of my reasons for running and was finding it hard to focus on the bigger picture.
Your advice is wise and gratefully accepted, thank you :)

We all have reasons why we run. When people ask me abut BFR, I egaerly share "It's not about distance or speed -- I do this SOLELY for FUN ! "

(If shoddies would sample BFR, for say, just 1/2 to a whole block, I think they'd "get it." Hope springs eternal. . .)

Cheers!

For me running is about moving through and connecting with a landscape, i'd lost sight of that a little.

Thanks again dharmadan, i was feeling a little isolated and world weary, your comments have helped me back to where i need to be.:)

We are all connected. Nobel physicists have been saying this a while. Sante!
