Motivation To Run?

Well WF Warriors,

I may not be an IM expert but what I DO know is running. I am a 2008 US Olympic Trials Marathon qualifier and broke the 2.20.00 marathon barrier running 2.19.35 to finish 4th and take top American honors at the 2007 California International Marathon.

Recently, I placed 5th at the 2011 Monumental Indianapolis Marathon in 2.26.42 and finish as the second American.

My website(blog) is rundreamachieve.com | Military Motivation for Uncommon Results is a blog devoted to motivated people wanting to get faster or simply to get more involved in the sport of running.

I am an Army Officer and LOVE to help people in regards to fitness, motivation and running. I may not know internet marketing (although I am reading and do my best to research) but I am willing to help any of you who need help in the fitness field in regards to running.

I want to network with other motivational and successful businessmen and women. If you would be willing to trade some of your affiliate internet marketing skills for my athletic expertise please feel free to leave me a message.

I am TRYING to build my blog up to reach more fitness minded and people who love running and racing or want to get into the sport and how to incorporate more methods to generate better income while doing what I already love to do.

Thanks for your time and professionalism.

Nate

    Well done on your achievements you are way faster than my better times. I used to consider myself a decent club runner back in a previous life but I struggled to keep break 1 hour 15 minutes for 13.2 miles.
    I have recently started trying to motivate myself to get back out there and take on a new challenge like an ultra run, but it is quite difficult to sometimes find that inner strength now I am older,heavier and diabetic.
    I live in the Pyrenees so no excuse in finding winding mountain trails to run on. Actually writing this and looking out of my home office window at the mountains right now.
    Hell where are my running shoes?

    Justin will be a great person for you to talk to, he is bound to have some ideas.

    First, With all those high achievements of yours, I can tell that you have the proper mindset, attitude, descipline, healthy habits and focus.. these are the very best things I found to be the most important factors to be successful in every industry you may want to get into.

    Second, Internet Marketing Industry is all about those I've mentioned above. The image below has it all..



    Makes sense right?

    Third, just keep the former and remember the latter.

    On the other hand, are you able to help a skinny dude like myself to get buff?

      I really saw results when i stopped using music while i ran. It really allowed me to challenge myself to hone my focus and charge myself up at will rather then because of whatever i was listening to.

      My workplace parallel to this is that I then became able to push myself when needed, simply because i chose to. No reward system needed, i just did it because i wanted it. That's when the true will power/volition/whatever you want to call it comes out because you're pushing yourself entirely using your own will to do the activity.

      For some this can be easy, but for MANY that i know - no way lol

    I’m impressed with your achievements. I honestly admire athletic people because I myself, is never the athletic type although I play a few sports to keep me fit and keep a regular exercise regimen but that’s the extent of what I can do when it comes to sports. I never competed to any marathon nor tried professional sports.
