A short and sweet thought for the day:
I posted a blog about this several years ago, but I felt like I wanted to put it out there again. It's a valuable lesson to those of you who have a hard time getting out the door and to the gym.
I'm a runner. I am one of 'those' who truly does enjoy running. I like the pavement under my feet, breathing to the rhythm of my music blaring in my ears and forgetting all about what's happened in my day or what is to come, and just GOING. Whether it be three miles or seven. But I found a secret a few years ago that continually proves itself reliable time and time again. Putting on my running shoes.
If I can get in my running outfit, slip on my socks and tighten up my laces...I WILL go for a run. I WILL make it happen. There may be a few things that get in my way before going (well these days, it's usually a LOT of things), but once my shoes are on, it's a psychological thing that I don't want to take them off without putting a few miles on them first. Even if it's the shortest run ever and I didn't quite get in what I wanted, I at least made it happen. And I'm proud of that.
So, with that said. Find a time in the day that you may be able to get a run in, put your shoes and clothes on, and see how it plays out. The hardest thing about running is putting on your shoes...lace em up tight and go git er done!
