What do we use to stay motivated?

In life, what do we do when we start out too strong, and feel like we can’t finish?

Same thing in a race. Back off some, regain our composure, then keep going.

Two mile combined split 13:47… the goal at this point was 14:15 (two miles at 7:15 and 7:00).

So I stopped and walked for half a minute.

What do we use to stay motivated?

Eyes always on the goal.

5k goal was sub 22:00

 

Breaking 22 minutes felt like victory, even though walking felt like failure.

Keep going.
