I really really really (I mean really) didn’t want to go out tonight. I was talking myself out of it for about an hour. Telling myself I wasn’t enjoying it, why should I waste my free time doing stuff I didn’t like etc etc. Then I forced myself out. Told myself well I’m doing it for a reason, to get fit and lose weight, so even if I didn’t enjoy it I just had to do it. Man up and just get it over with. You know what happened next? I went out and enjoyed it the most I have so far! I felt fitter, stronger and despite deliberately not pushing pace I naturally went quicker at times. At the end I felt like I had plenty in the tank.
