Running Tips: How to get off the couch

it's not physical.. AT ALL.. your have to ask yourself what you really want. your mind will look for the easy way out.. your body is physically capable of soooo much more. the satisfaction of sitting on the couch and being lazy will last seconds.. the satisfaction of pushing yourself harder and further than you thought you could will last a lifetime.. and the results (obvious increased fitness levels and a stronger healthier body) will give you continued self satisfaction.
"run if you can.. walk if you have to.. crawl if you need to.. just don't quit" - DK

next time you go for a run.. and you are considering quiting and heading for the couch.. behonest with yourself as to WHY you want to quit.. is it because you can't put one foot in front of the other?.. I doubt it.. is it because you can't breathe? highly unlikely.. your mind is just looking for the easy way out. your body can go much farther.. much longer.. and you in the end will become much stronger.. physically AND mentally..

and in regard to your work schedule.. set your alarm and get up before work to work out... you will fee so much better ALL DAY LONG.. I promise.. after a couple days you will get into a routine and look forward to it.

just be honest with yourself.. "if you think you can or you can't.. you're right" HF
