a satisfied need no longer motivate

SUNDAY: I've missed yesterday's london derby cause I was tired from running the whole 10km in a tempo that I could possibly never achieved when training. Racing does that to you.But even if i didn't run, i would sleep anyway since i sensed that arsenal would lose. Same feeling before the Champ league game against bayern which ended up 3-1 in favour of the bavarians.

I  think with the management being staisfied with the team Arsenal has had over the years and aiming to finish 4th is the main reason for the epic fall we are experiencing now. Liverpool had their moments and now it seems we are heading the same direction which is down. I doubt arsenal will finish 4th so I hope this will trigger some senses to the management of Arsenal.

Seems like my other half is now enjoying running and racing. Racing is the motivator i guess. If not, I doubt she and myself would wake up in the morning at 4:30 am and race at 6:45am.


My maiden 6.5km swim in open water is happening pretty soon and i think it qualifies as a perfect motivator for me to train. I started to swim during lunch breaks and focus more on technique which if it was for a triathlon, I would otherwise train just to cover the distance.

Anyway, it's good for her to have started running. It's is the easiest way to get fit. Put on your shoes and go out. I'll take care of the kids while she trains.

The new basketball season is jsut around the corner and we're aiming big. I hope the whole team can be pumped up and motivated to train and play hard.
