Hey all, I’ve been contemplating whether or not I wanted to post this, but decided to go ahead and do it. Lately I have had absolutely zero motivation to train. I am a pilot in the Navy, a dad of 17 month old twin boys, and married to a great woman who just started chemotherapy for breast cancer. I…

Hey, I am really sorry to hear about your wife, I am hoping for a speedy recovery! Regarding the riding, honestly, just ride! I would also try to ride with others. Do some nice group rides and just enjoy riding. The social aspect might also help with motivation and boosting energy. Sometimes its …

Four years ago, when our daughter was born, my partner was hurt so much from giving birth that she had a hard time moving at all for weeks. For several months she could not carry anything, not even …

My motivation has always been to stay fit and healthy so getting hit by cancer at 43 really deflated me for a bit but it and the subsequent chemo quickly gave me a new motivation. Now that BC is beaten, touchwood, Ive seen enough improvement to motivate me for the future and I also have the motivat…

I get your position. I went through the same thing with my spouse 14 years ago. I will say I didnt do anything activity wise while we went through her treatments which was 18 months. If you ask my kids (they were13/14 at the time) about what went on they just say Mom was tired but life went on a…

CMorgan, the first thing is to just give yourself a break. You are going through a lot plus we are all living through covid times. All this would derail the motivation of most people. When I was going through a hard time, I found my sanity by riding or going to yoga classes at lunch time. I was doi…
