Hi, this is Debbie Boyles, coach at Mojo for Running with episode number 125, coach, Debbie Boyles, and this is the podcast for

middle of the packers, regular people not afraid to work up a sweat, who embrace the outdoors

and that wonderful feeling of endorphins surging through their veins.

My goal is to provide the information you need to achieve your goals.

If you run long enough, there's a good possibility you'll lose your running mojo at some point.

One time, about nine years ago, I emailed a friend

and asked her where she'd been because I was accustomed to seeing her out on our favorite trail

and she hadn't been there for quite a while. She said, Deb, I've lost my running mojo. At that moment,

the name of this podcast was born. I wasn't able to get the

exact domain, so it became mojo for running. I'm happy to say she did get her mojo back. Like I said,

that was nine years ago, and she's still running today. But she's not the last one to speak

those words to me. I hear them every once in a while.

In fact, I heard them just yesterday. It's not surprising. No matter who you are, no matter how

enthusiastic, in fact, I think sometimes it's the people the most intense, committed, and enthusiastic

that get burnt out. Sometimes people just get tired of trying to find the time to run, competing, having it

compete with everything else in their life.

It makes them tired and weary.

Whatever the reason, I have the answer.

Actually, I have 20 answers.

The whole purpose of this episode is to give you a potential solution if you should find yourself in that predicament in the situation of being a runner who's lost your drive, your passion, your mojo.

I'll give you my best prescription for fixing what's ailing your motivation.

Before we get to that, a word about one of my favorite races, the St. Pete Beach Classic, on January 12th and 13th in 2018.
