Get out and run

Unless you are in the military and have to take a fitness test, the stakes are relatively low to get out and run most days. This is why we need to learn how to motivate ourselves. Self-motivation depends on a change in our perspective about running. This change may also serve you well in other aspects of your life. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Chad Thompson)
