I’ve been struggling to find consistency since my triathlon a few weeks ago. I’ve gone on a few runs here and there but I need to get back on track and be more disciplined. Today I’m creating my workout plans and getting them on paper. No more excuses. Just thought you should know so you can [...]Social Media and Motivation
Yesterday I didn’t want to go running. There was no reason, I was just feeling lazy. Then I saw someone tweet about how good they felt about their workout that day.

Any comment that is not from a name (real or fake, I don’t care) or from “Anonymous” [...]The Fight for Fitness | Blake Hagen's Discussions

You Gotta Want It
Creating healthy habits can be hard. In order to change our bad habits to good habits, we have to want to. We have to have the willpower and determination to do it.
