2. Forget That It's a Workout
Exercising is hard work. Running for a few minutes could tire you out and make you feel miserable. However, if you're able to fight past that original pain, you'll end up feeling an entirely new emotion. Once you forget that you're exercising and just get lost in your thoughts, you'll have an easier time making it through your workout.

It doesn't matter if you're the fastest runner in the world or the slowest. When you exercise, all that matters is that you're trying. Even if you keep a slow pace, at least you're fighting to keep your body healthy. It's better than sitting on your couch all day, so be proud of yourself!

6. Running Feels Intoxicating
If you want to feel good about yourself, then you need to put in effort. At the end of the day, you won't feel like you've accomplished anything if you just sat on your couch watching movies for hours on end. But if you get up and run, even if it's only for a few minutes each day, you'll have something to be proud of.
7. It Can Actually Be Fun
Running isn't just a form of exercise. It can actually turn into a hobby. Once you get used to hopping on that treadmill and it stops feeling like a chore, it could actually feel like fun! It's only a matter of time until your opinion on the activity changes.
8. Run for as Long as You'd like
When you run a race, there's a start point and an end point. When you run for your own pleasure, there's not a specific amount of time that you need to be moving around for. You could spend five minutes running, or you could spend hours running.
9. Be Proud That You're unlike Anyone else
It's nice to see fellow joggers outside, because you know that you're all on the same page. However, sometimes it's even better when you're the only one out on the streets. It'll give you the satisfaction of knowing that you're willing to do something that no one else will.
You don't even need any gym equipment in order to run, so there's no excuse for skipping your workout today! How long are you planning on running for today?
