Subject: RE: Hello everyoneHey Lisa, welcome to the group. I feel for you, running workouts are tougher on me than anything. You have to get creative to keep them interesting.
1. Can you run with a friend? That always helps. Do a moderate pace workout where you can still carry on bits of a conversation.
2. Take along some music to listen to.
3. Try running somewhere different to spice things up. For me it's trail running in the woods. The roads are just too darn boring.
4. Near the lake in Chicago? Can you run on a beach?
Mainly I find it's the variety more than anything that helps with motivation. Doing the same thing day after day and never changing your routine is a contributing factor to eventually giving up. Keep it fun and you'll find progress will come more quickly too!
