General chat - how's your running going? (aussie.zone)

Hey. I thought I'd give this a shot, just a general chat thread about running... eg. How was your run today, how are you tracking, how's your training going for that race that you decided to go for etc... if it's popular, maybe someone knows how to write a bot to post weekly or monthly? (I don't)

Lower the barrier (get clothes out etc before hand), make it novel; pick somewhere different to run (if you've the time for some travel), reward yourself after, set a goal (either running metrics or like "I want to see the pretty garden anyway so might as well run there).

Treadmills suck but are better than not running if the weather sucks.

Find some nice tunes or podcasts or audiobooks and only listen while running to make it more exciting.

Also acknowledging that for a little while it's going to suck and be hard and just being ok with that can be useful. Until you get fitter and get the habit it's hard, it's ok to find stuff hard. Sometimes just accepting that makes doing something transiently hard easier.
