I slept in this morning and blew off my usual Tuesday a.m. run.  My lunch hour has come and gone and now I'm finding it difficult to muster the motivation to run after work....

Okay, I'll bite.   Get your out there and get it done.  Stop procrastinating!

I am not an after work runner at all. Don't do it. Wait until tomorrow morning.

(is that what you want to hear?)

Suck it up, buttercup!

For me, I told myself I had to run before I could watch the last episode of Heroes that I bought off of iTunes. Works every time.

Whoo hoo!  Good job!

See this is one way that this site is motivating for me.  Put my plans in writing for all the world to see.  Not that I'm looking for a response for anyone, but I would feel stupid if I didn't follow through.  Worked for you too!  BT is a GREAT motivator!

We had houseguests all weekend.. After they left on Sunday morning, I was feeling very unmotivated... hungover, too little sleep, and too much food. Plus, it was the coldest morning yet this year. I wavered between a hot shower and going running.

I'm so glad I chose the running. I ran my normal 3 loops of the 1 mile trail, and felt so good I added another loop.. so I just ran my longest run yet! (I'm still a beginner).

And I got the hot shower when I got home.
