This is what I tell myself everyday I go to the gym. Running is like one great big count down for me. We always run for 45 minutes. Well, for at least 5 of those minutes I like to run my guts out so I can really get my heart pumping. So I have to tell myself, "It's only 5 minutes, it's not that long, you can do it! Five minutes, that's less time then you'll spend writing your blog post tonight. I can do this!" So I start to pick up my pace, I double that, then flat out run, and thoughts like, "Oh my legs hurt, maybe I should stop now." go through my head. Then I have to yell at myself, in my head of course. Why is this so hard for me? I totally have to pump myself up for just 5 minutes. Do other people have to use self motivating talk in their heads to make their bodies move? I'm so ashamed. But oh, it does feel so good when those 5 minutes end and I get to slow down.

It's Just 5 Minutes
