it's crazy to me that there are people out there that are able to do things they don't enjoy doing by their own willpower just because it's good for them and I can't even get myself to do the things I enjoy doing.

    I’m about to go on my 6 mile mile run and it is five thirty in the morning here.

    I think the key for me is to just make the connection that the pain of not running (for me, the discomfort of my breathing being slightly worse when I’m really out of shape and just general feeling of shittiness) is worse than the activity itself. I also add treats to my run when I’m getting back into the habit. Fun size candy bars and the like. I also reserve my favorite podcasts for my run. I’m about to listen to behind the bastards which is always a good time.
