    If you're feeling a lack of motivation to get out the door running, you might want to consider the fuel for motivation?  What can bring your motivation back? And weirdly, it's gratitude.  Now, I quite understand in the present climate, you might not be feeling that you got a great deal to be grateful for; I get it.  If you feel that lack of motivation if you're not feeling that Mojo Mojo is coming back for your running, you might want to start looking at what you could be grateful for?  The more that your motivation, in general, will return, you'll probably find getting out that door to run that little bit easier. So this is what today's podcast is all about. Gratitude, and how you can make it the fuel for more consistency in your running.
