Sorry to hear that, good luck with it. You may want to ask yourself why you got into it in the first place, was it fitness, new adventures & challenges, new faces & friends, travel? Give it time; in the race of life you need to cut yourself some slack & pace yourself too.
If it were me, I'd only need reach down to my waist, grab a handful of flesh, shake it up and down to make it jiggle, and I'd be motivated.

I relocated in middle of July, two months ago, from MD to NY. New apartment, new job, no friends, did not know where to go running or biking, for a month I could not find a pool [community centers and universities were kicking me out because I was not resident in their town - aka I live in town 3 miles away... ]. Relocating is tough. Google helps. You can find local running clubs, local small races... I registered for small sprint tri [this weekend actually, on 9/26] and that deadline of oncoming race got my butt moving. I also volunteered in half ironman race close to me, and that got me really motivated to do the race next year! So hang in there, it will settle down. KY has longer season then NY, you might do some small duathlon before winter, just to get moving. Also you might look at www.setupevents.com - they do races in VA, NC, SC - which might be close to you. I did a lot of races with them in VA, always well organized, in scenic countryside, real nice. So good luck!

+1 to the getting out with a local club.
A quick google search showed more than one (although Cherokee Running Club hasn't posted anything since 2009) The local Fleet Feet on the Bardstown road has weekly runs. I know our local FF runs are a great way to meet folks and get jump started too...(I'm not a fan of chain stores even though they are locally owned) but it's a start.

With IM Louisville there HAS to be a tri club! Even if you just go to a meeting or get out for a weekly bike ride, it may be the kick start you need.
Cheers!

A two month break isn't that bad, you'll probably find in no time that you will be able to get back into it. I had a two year break, where I virtually lost all my fitness. It was very disheartening. I wasn't sure if I was going to get back into triathlon. The way I regained my motivation was to set really small goals. Forgetting the fact that I was doing olys "with ease" two years ago. I moved as well, but I didn't join any clubs, mainly because I have done that before and I found the fitness of the participants to be very intimidating. I trained my %&* off for two super sprints this year and now I am working on a 5K. I have found that my fitness level jumped right back up to where it was before, and now motivation isn't an issue at all. I think with a bit of work I could easily complete an oly. You have only been off for two months so you may not have lost that much of your fitness, as compared to what happened with me. But the "small goals" method may work. Maybe just start with training for a short running race, which will force you to get out and run 3x a week, and then go from there. I think motivation comes from being fit, the more fit you become, the more you want to become fitter. Its like a cycle that takes care of itself.

I moved in February. It took me a couple of months to get back up to speed. I had no motivation either. I started slow and just got my head back in it little by little. I ended up losing some speed and endurance but little by little its coming back to where I was this time last year. Actually short runs are a little faster now after the break. It'll come back, just take it day by day.

I had the same motivation issue when we moved at the end of January and we only moved 2 miles down the road (I routinely ran past our new house). I had a tough time getting the workouts in for the half IM I did in April but I found that after the event I had a ton of motivation to go train for the shorter events that were coming up next. I would suggest signing up for a short race (maybe a 5k) just to give yourself a goal. You may not train hard for it, but once you get the endorphins going on race day, it'll carry over into training...at least it did for me. Good luck, I'm sure you'll find whatever works for you.

Find bike shops with group rides
Find running groups and go
Look for the tri clubs

Sorry to be so direct, and please take it in the way it's intended, but you already know what to do and no one but you is going to provide you with the motivation.

It's simple: Google and Go, or don't.

That sums it up for me, moved to another country last march, took a couple of days of trying to figure out what to do, then put on my garmin 305 and went out the door. You will be surprised at how nice it is to run in a new area.

Sometimes the places where we live get stale, need to shake it up a bit.

Just start with running to explore the area then you will get into it more.

Have fun!

If you an IM triathlete living in a city that host one should give you the pump you need. Just imagine you get to train on the course that you race on all year long. Short break will do you good though!

As nice as this sounds, I wouldn't bank on doing that too often. Unfortunately there are sections of the course where the local population is less than welcoming...most of it's great though. However, there are plenty of good places to ride in the city. My family lives there and I grew up in the area.

If you're looking for other triathletes, the club is the Louisville Landsharks...I'm in Cincy now, so don't know much about them, but have seen thier kits at races.

Let me know if you have specific questions about the area, I'll see what I can do to help. I have a special place in my heart for L'ville and hope to return there in a few years once I'm ready to settle in somewhere.

With everything going on in your life, though, don't sweat taking a little break. I do agree that easy workouts can be a great way to familiarize yourself with the city.
