This mornings run goal, further not faster, enjoy the surroundings in the park on this beautiful day and to just keep going until Pippin had finished at the groomers π
I find running hard but I love the way it makes me feel when I've finished. The real dopamine hits come from doing hard things that challenge you, leaving you feeling accomplished. Dopamine is your motivational brain chemical. It lights up your brain and makes you feel productive and excited, which in turn increases your ability to maintain discipline.
Check out and give him a follow to learn more about boosting your brain chemistry. I'd also thoroughly recommend his book The DOSE Effect (DOSE standing for Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, Endorphins)
Have a wonderful
