I love this! It summed so many of my unconscious thoughts so well. I feel like I really caught my stride running as an husband and father once I committed to "move beyond the run" and do my best to prevent running from having a negative effect on other important parts of my life. I had seen running as the end goal for a while, and once I saw it as just a part and path to the life I want it freed me to run in a more healthy and sustainable way.
Yes. I think as we grow, our attitude towards doing hard things that make us better (running, etc) grows with us and we transcend our original motivation as we move towards a higher purpose. That sounds deep but I don't mean it to be too deep.
I really enjoyed this! And on some level, I think I get it.... Not to your level though. I also wonder if there is a connection to the motivators: fear, duty and love. The closer we get to love, the easier and more pure the motivation. You obviously "love" running and don't expect something in return every single time.... Or, maybe it's just part of who you've become... Your motivation to run is "no longer an irritant" it's just part of your makeup. Anyway, here's to decades more!!!
Wow keep it going, beautiful channel !
I like the message not motivated but establishing discipline yes

I have never heard anyone say fear, duty, and love as the main 3 motivators. I really need to think about that. Thanks for sharing!
