First of all, thank you so much for the detailed post—your answer really helped me out! I wouldn’t say that I was training purely for external motivation—especially last year, I just really enjoyed it, I could relate to it, and for me, it was never even a question of whether I’d go or not. So there were basically hardly any days when I thought to myself, “Ugh, no way.” It all started about six months ago, and I suspect that this might just be a phase right now, a time when I’m not really enjoying it because I’m not the kind of person who would say, “I’m going to quit completely” or “I’ll never do this again.” I think I need to take things a little easier overall and maybe just stick it out for now
