Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Without a crystal clear exercise goal right now, a discovery has been made. Pushing yourself – and enjoying it – is very, very challenging.
And the second discovery without a crystal clear wellness goal? How easy it is to make excuses to pass on, or reduce, physical activity.

Ran this morning before writing. And the running has been a struggle since the letdown of not going to Nationals – remember the double inguinal hernia repair two weeks before the meet back in July?
As we seek motivation, we can strive for simplicity and effectiveness. Nationals is the only meet I plan to run and set a goal for. One year, one race. It’s enough.
One year, no race.
No worries.
Twice this week did two 800’s at 3:20 pace, with a five-minute rest in between. This was a post surgery ability stretch. An hour ago I decided to do a mile time trial and shot for 6:40, which is back-to-back 3:20’s (with no rest in between).
The time above shows the results. Motivation is like a fire and we must constantly add fuel to it.
You get this, right?

Are you struggling with finding continuous motivation and joy in your exercise or activity routine?
Join the club.
We can know something, use it, then forget it because we take it for granted, then rediscover it again.
A goal.
A goal so clear, concise, and compelling the thought of reaching it excites us and fills us with the fire to burn brightly.

The health habits we spend our lives creating ultimately can pay dividends we never knew we would need later in life. Say for example, you are in your 70’s or 80’s and you fall, have surgery, and are then instructed to go through extensive physical rehab or you will never walk again.
And if you can not walk at that age, the decline to needing 24 hour nursing care is immediate.
What are our odds of doing the challenging work after surgery if we were unwilling to do it while we were healthy?
