Today, I did it.  I ran after work.  It really shouldn't be a big deal.  However, I haven't actually gotten myself to leave my home after I get inside.  I tell myself that I am going to do it and then I figure out how I can just stay inside.  Sometimes, I'm hungry and decide to go after I eat...until I eat and then I decide just to stay home.  Other times, I piddle around until I decide it is too late and I stay inside and don't do anything that can be considered exercise.

Today, I held a continual conversation with myself.  While I really didn't want to go out into the spring chill, I did it.  It was later than I planned and I thought that it was going to get dark soon and I managed to drag myself outside.  It did get darker, but never too dark.  I didn't want to put the effort into the run.  It's not as easy as it was, but I ran and heard my breathing with most every step.  I challenged myself.  I committed to myself.  I did it.  What a blessing to actually follow through.  Now, I'm going to work on some bigger plans.
