This morning I woke up feeling like I didnt want to work out, but after sitting on the couch for 10 minutes I got my *kitten* up and went to the gym. I have been trying to do the whole walk/jog/run deal on the treadmill. When I started a week ago I could barely run.. 2 minute jog was all could handle. Then this week I was able to do a straight 7 minutes.. And today the day I felt like I really rather stay and hang with my boys I went and I jogged for 15 minutes straight..alittle over a mile.. Ive never run a mile before! Im very pleased and glad I worked out today.

    I find that the days I really have to drag myself to the gym are the days that I end up kickin the most butt. Once the endorphins get flowing, I'm angry at myself for even thinking about not doing it, so I push hard as I can.

    Congrats! Both on mastering your willpower and on your nsv!

    The workouts you really didnt want to do always end up being the best ones.

    The same sort of thing happened to me ( minus the running) After yesterday's grueling gym session I was absolutely exhausted, and this morning I didn't feel much better.So I devised a plan in which I'd pack my gym bag and head for a walk in the direction of the gym, if I still felt sapped of all strength when I got near my gym I'd turn around and walk the 1.5 miles home again, but once I set eyes on the place I was drawn to it and consequently put in my best performance to date, and I feel much better for it,

    So well done to the O.P, I can sort of relate to it.
