Just a general thread about running. How's your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc....

Sometimes the act of just putting on my shoes (without giving it much more thought) would get me over that hump. And like others said, baby steps. Start with just around the block or down the street/road and back.

I've heard this before, but I've definitely had those days where I just know I'm not feeling it. I try not to let my brain win, and I attempt to be disciplined, but I've been out the door actively beginning a jog around the neighborhood and I just stop before I get to the end of my street. Or it'll be Hella hot so I'll opt for a treadmill and I'll jump off after 2 minutes.

I have no idea what to do on days like that. I just try to make sure I don't use it as an excuse to completely fuck up my routine by skipping additional days.
