Lack of Motivation

I feel bad that i am feeling this way. I'm experiencing a severe crash in interest in training. It's not just a plateau i've hit, it seems like i'm totally not concerned about training anymore.

Reminder: I have an Ironman in March. With three months left, my training should be well on its way and reaching it's peak soon.

Instead, i'm still chilling after this month's marathon and i can't keep disciplined to train/diet properly (or not like i used to) because i don't even think about it.

Reflecting on why this is the case, the most plausible reason is that i'm putting focus on other things like spending more time with friends, family and priorities have shifted towards becoming less anal about training.

This has evidently resulted in me failing to achieve the goals i've set out in training. Having supposed to start intensive training, i ended up only doing three middle distance runs last week and definitely exceeded my weekly caloric intake. Looking back, i would be very upset and make up for it, but i did not even bother.

And now, i wonder where that fire went. 'Retirement' beckons. No way, man. Seriously?
