This winter I almost quit running, as a result I gained some weight. My insecurities hit their peak and so for the last few months I’ve been trying to get back on track. But being inactive for a while I lost much of the energy I had back when I was frequently exercising.

The past month, I kept being disappointed by my performance. Until today, that I broke my past months records with 5k of continuously running. How I did it? I was being motivated.

While I was running, and being ready to stop and go home, at about 3k, a man passed by me. I took a closer look at him and for my surprise I noticed that he was way older than me and, man, he had so much more energy than me. He frustated me. I couldn’t stand it. So I kept running. I followed him. I was curious for how long I could follow him. How much more energy he had and what it would mean for me to become better.

He stopped a few minutes ago. I stopped and watched my phone. 5k!

I had broke my personal record of the last month going for running. Man, I feel good!

“So my mantra for today is keep your self motivated.“
