I've gained about 30 lbs (14kg) over the last two years. I fell out of the habit when I got my first job out of college, but now that I'm not working remotely I have a better schedule, yet I still have trouble maintaining motivation long enough to make a habit of it.
I love running, but I can't seem to make myself do it. With winter closing in again I worry that I won't be able to muster the strength to go run outside again until the spring.
Any tips or inspiration anyone could share would be appreciated.
Try to find a local group or run club to get out with.
How would one go about this? Serious question. Are there sites with lists? Are there things to avoid?
There are usually lists online, yeah. You could search "running group [your city]" and probably find a couple. You should also check with your local running stores and ask if they know about any. And if you find more then one don't be shy about trying more than one. You might find that different groups have different personalities, goals, etc.
