\"\"<\/a>Getting bored while\u00a0running (working out)\u00a0is a major problem facing many of us today and there is really no way around it. You can try new music, run inside instead of outside or vise-versa, watch television, or find new routes to change the scenery a little bit. I love to run, but I have my days where I just really do not\u00a0want to run and a day off is not in my vocabulary (should be though). So, I have found that signing up for races<\/a> or running groups is the way to go. Most of the time I love to run by myself, but on those days that\u00a0lack motivation, I lean on others to help me get through another run. <\/span><\/p>\n

I strongly believe that signing up for races keeps you motivated and on your toes. Besides the costs, what could be better than running<\/a> with people that share the same desires and interests? This is a cure-all for me. I used to run for the heck of it and it just got boring after a while, but a few years ago I started running charity\u00a0and local races just to give me something to train for and have fun with. These races help re-motivate me, build new friendships and bonds, and have allowed me to give back to certain charities and the community. I recommend starting with short races (2 mile or 5K) and slowly building up to the marathon, triathlon, and other long-distance races.\u00a0Good Luck!!<\/span><\/p>\n
