You don't have to want to run, you just have to run.
Last night I couldn't sleep so this morning when I woke up it took about 40 s for me to start debating skipping my run. I told myself I could run tonight, but even my sleep deprived self knows that's not likely and def not worth the mental effort it takes for me to workout in the evening. So I googled "when you don't want to run" and this site came up:
http://www.shutupandrun.net/2012/04/8-tips-for-running-when-you-dont-feel.html
My favorite part is "Listen you whiner, you get to run. There are many people who can’t even walk". So true. Probably won't work everyday, but it got me going today. God rewarded me with a little bit of rain when I started off, though it stopped in the first mile which just equals a hot sweaty mess, but by then the hard part was over.
What also helped? Posting that link to facebook. You can't post that and then lounge around all morning :o).
4 miles in before 9 am. Ready to face the day!
