I really need to start this week better

I need to get up and run before work

But I love staying in bed until the last minute Grin

So please help me with some nagging / motivation
Thanks

Can you do it when you get in from work instead? I always lie in til the last minute - although to be fair I need to leave house at 7am so it's too early to make time to run as well.

I used to run as soon as I got home. Change, run for half an hour, then shower and eat.

I try to run in the evenings...since I'm asleep first thing, it means I've less time to sit on the couch eating.

MozzchopsThirty · 21/06/2020 22:08

Trouble is I get home and I'm tired and it's a lot cooler running at 6.30am than 6.30pm
(And quieter at the moment with pavement hoggers)

I want to run before work tomorrow too. Will have to be up and out by 6:10 or won’t have time. So... I promise to do it, if you promise to too!?

Mummiepig · 21/06/2020 22:10

I’m going for a run in the morning, I get my clothes ready the night before, put them in the bathroom, get up and go straight away, drink in the fridge ready no excuses!!

midgebabe · 21/06/2020 22:14

Cooler and quieter? Well I won't manage tomorrow, but I think you have a really good idea. I do hate getting up though,

MozzchopsThirty · 21/06/2020 22:15

I need to get up and run before work

You have to want to do it!

But I love staying in bed until the last minute

So this is never going to work for you and you'll just spend your time feeling guilty.

How can you incorporate it into you day in another way?
Run to work?
Drive part way and run?
Run home?
Go for a run at lunch time.

If you want to keep at it you have to find a way where you don't resent it for taking away something that means something to you.

BogRollBOGOF · 22/06/2020 08:27

I woke up "early" for a run 55 minutes ago...
I should get my arse into gear really (plus a sports bra for the top half Wink )
In my defence, DH started talking at me...

MozzchopsThirty · 22/06/2020 11:53

I'm definitely giving up on the morning idea

Plan: get home tonight and run if not too hot or body combat otherwise

Mornings are not for me

OP posts:
MozzchopsThirty · 22/06/2020 18:38

Did combat tonight when I got in and feel good

Well done @MozzchopsThirty - you really need to find something that you enjoy not punish yourself with things you hate 😊
