The Common Crap

I have a case of the "I don't wanna run" today. Symptoms include lethargy and a desire to lay on the couch and watch TV.

Is there a known cure for this?

***Edit: The cure for the above ailment appears to be suckin' it up and gettin' out there for a run whether I want to or not. I did a 3 miler (29:41), and once I was out there, I was glad I "womaned up" and determined to do it. Now I can go lay on the couch and not feel guilty. Score!***

  1. Beer and lots of it :-)

    Don't sweat it, you HAVE been working hard to get everything done so why not take a day? ;-)

  2. The only way to beat it is to put your running shoes on and tell yourself that if it doesn't feel good when you get going that you can stop. Once you are out and going it feels good. Or drink beer like Marcy said. ;>)

  3. Yes. The cure is spring time and daylight savings time. These dark, cold days are killing my motivation.

  4. When I get home from work tonight I'm hoping that my wife's in the mood so that I too can get woman'd up.

    Oh, is that not how you meant it? How disappointing.

  10. The only cure is definitely getting out there and doing it. I find once I get out there, I am able to get it done

  11. Great job Jess.

    For some reason I was thinking about all the Half Marathons you have run this year. It just hit me. I have no idea why I even thought of it.

    You had a great year in running!

    Yep, you found the cure. Unfortunately, I find that it's a recurring disease here...

  21. Way to go, Jess ! If that happen again, just say to yourself "I am going out for run just for a mile or 10 minutes." After you do a mile, it will be easier to say "Hey, lets do another couple more" .
