So dreading the 1.5 min jog. My mind keeps screaming "I can't, I can't".

    Scream louder: I can I can until your mind shuts up. :)

    Get used to it. :)

    Your mind will keep doing that as long as you keep running. For the first 10 minutes of just about every run, you'll experience anything from an urgent need to pee, to thirst, to a feeling that it would be so much better to sit down for awhile. It's actually a documented biological response designed to help you safeguard your fat stores. However, if you push through it, you'll be able to do more than you ever dreamed.
