A motivator to move forward is planning for and committing to an event, whether a 5k ( 3.1 miles) or a longer run or multi-event ( duathlon, triathlon ).
This gives you a goal to gradually increase your effort, so that you can accomplish that event.
"Gradually increase" means to train by increasing distance moved, and varying speed. There are many plans on how to do this.
I set my event goals early in the year. Some I had to modify, or cancel, due to an injury. but then I focused my efforts forward, and moved in a way that worked around the injury. (increasing distance and speed too quickly may leads to injury--do so by small increments ).
It is July. I accomplished the 1/2 marathon, have the duathlon in September, but thinking ahead to my goals for the next year.
I've experienced the pain and major discomfort from inactivity to moving, realizing there is an event just round the corner. Its much better to continuously move, so one can be prepared for any upcoming events. So I'm planning and plotting my goals for 2009.
