Never get set to fail. We train the nervous system to win by never going to burn-out or failure. Then it all (whatever it is -- running, swimming, pull-ups) gets better and more fun.

I started off out of breath after a 1/4 mile walk, after 6 months I was running 3-4 miles a day, 5 days a week. Within a year I was running at least one half-marathon a week as my long run, and doing 5-8 miles 4 days a week. Dropped 100 lbs, feel so much better. Important part for me was tracking my food and exercise intake, so I made a website to do just that - compare your food intake and exercise with all the factors such as age/sex/weight. That really helped me to get things into perspective - you start to look at how far you have to run to burn off that slice of pizza (probably anywhere from 2-4 miles per slice!). That helped me eliminate the bad snacks and food choices in general. Great post -

Once I am out running I am fine, in fact it is harder putting those sneakers on that actually doing the excercise. I bet this applies to most gym members, who do not go.

Now you've committed to something and paid money, just another reason to get out and run. I find the easiest way to motivate myself to run is to sign up for a race a few weeks/months away.

One can employ the same strategy for loads of other things like weight reduction etc.. But i got to admit its not easy to increase running habits its not a usual cake walk. You could also join a gym along with your excellent running habits. you could probably get yourself into a perfect shape in a couple of months. But no matter what happens don't suddenly stop.

Having a pet to run with is an often overlooked asset. With a dog, you have to at least walk her everyday, and this makes jump starting endorphins all the easier. I like the photo you selected.

I convince myself that I'm only going to jog for 5 minutes, then 10 minutes, then 15 minutes, and I trick myself into jogging for half an hour. It's much easier to exercise when you think about it in small steps. :) I always use the “5-minute” strategy when I run.
