Motivation
Do you ever do something you don't want to do and then feel better after doing it?
That is the love/hate relationship I have with running. Motivating myself to run does not come easily to me, but once I get running, I am glad to be moving. And once I get going, I can usually push myself to keep going and to go harder than I thought I could.
Plus, once I am done running, I feel accomplished, especially if I achieve something new, or if it was harder than usual and I pushed through. And I miss it when I don't do it. My body stiffens and I feel a need to move.
So the question is, with all the positives that I get from running, why is it still so hard to motivate myself to do it?
