found a new way to pass the time

So it is REALLY hard for a non-runner like me to get into running...to the point where I can come up with a million excuses as to why I should not do it today. After pushing myself to get out the other day, I found myself going through all the excuses in my head while I began the workout followed closely with reasons the excuses were not valid. Next thing I knew, I had already gone 3 miles of my 4.5 mile goal. I used the next 1.5 miles to come up with more reasons as to why I should cut my workout short and argue my way out of those as well.

Some people use music or chatter with running partners to pass the time...I actually used "debating with myself". I doubt I can use the technique again, but it sure was handy this last run! :-)
