    You need a distraction, like a TV or an iPod. This will take your mind off the argument with yourself and makes the time go by much faster!

    And I know it was just a typo but I loved it: DREADMILL!! It could have been Freudian! LOL! That is certainly what I think of it as!!:laugh:

    Dreadmill was on purpose...i think it fits :laugh:

    Lots of good ideas here...

    Outside is definitely better. I still fight the battle but not as bad. I'm not always comfortable outside in strange cities, so tend to use the hotel fitness center. This time it was still dark and rainy. I live in the midwest...when winter hits in full force, I'm going to have to get right with the indoor run

    Music - the iPod is on...the tunes are cranking and the training app is running. I've got a few on the playlist that crack me up when they come on...."Baby got back" by sir mix-a-lot, "the girl got hot" by weezer, "the distance" by cake....the audio book might help ramp up the distraction factor....thanks Natalie!

    Mix it up - I'm switching fitness facilities the first of the year, and at that point planning to add some lap swimming to the weekly plan. I am nervous though - I have never really been a runner before....worked so hard to get to this point and worry about going backwards.

    It was really helpful to hear that I'm not the only one who does this. I totally need to work on the self affirmation stuff. You guys all ROCK!

    Thanks....
