Slammer2 said:I started out doing the same thing. But instead of increasing distance for the total run, i would try to run at my fastest speed for as long as i could, and then each time make myself get to a further checkpoint before i stopped or slowed down. Eventually I could do the whole run without stopping or slowing down. Then increasing the distance each time was a breeze.
That's not sexist.DanielSon said:The third method, and by far the most sexist, is to keep the opposite sex in mind. Think about it. You're out there getting your ass in shape. There are two direct consequences to running, the more important of which is achieving your immediate goals, the lesser of the two being to tighten up that flabby body of yours. Gross. My girlfriend loved the fact that over time my body was getting stronger, muscles more defined, yada yada yada... She also liked seeing me sweaty and hot after a workout. It should be noted that ot all women like this, and while my girlfriend liked it for the first five minutes after a workout. In the next five she would be demanding that I go take a shower. Vizualization works here too, just don't go overboard with it or everyone is going to wonder what the hell is wrong with your running shorts.![]()
DanielSon said:There were many evenings out running where the only thing keeping me going was the image of a Hornet in my head, and understanding that every step I took dragged my lazy ass that much closer to that airplane.

EDIT: Thanks to Spot, I think I've found a plane that you could catch. Go get 'em, tiger!
DanielSon said:I dunno, I'm pretty dangerous over short distances. I could always just catch it using sheer manliness. (see avatar and note hairy shoulders)
