[quote=Anonymous]Right there with you. The two recommendations I have are:

1) Get a running gadget, or new running clothes or shoes. I got a running watch for Christmas for tracking my runs and it helped me get out the door for the first time in two weeks. New shoes, warm running tights, gloves, etc. might also help.

2) Watch Britney Runs a Marathon on Amazon. I know, cheesy. But it actually really helps get over a hump! One thing that movie helps me think about is how low the bar is for something to count as a run. When I'm really unmotivated, I just do a 1-2 mile run and run as slow as I can. Like I force myself to the slowest pace I can possible go and still count as running. This is how the main character in the movie runs all of her first runs. Usually by about halfway through my run, my motivation kicks in and I can pick up the pace and finish strong. But setting the bar extremely low helps get me out the door. And the nice thing about short runs is that you can be out and back in 20 minutes or less, which also helps me motivate.

Good luck! Your post has motivated me to go out for a run after I finish work today, so that's something![/quote]
