I was feeling very under the weather on Tuesday, so I took Wednesday off; there’s no use in over-training and getting sick. On Friday, I tried<\/em> to run 7k, but on the way home I felt completely worn out and had to stop early. I guess I was still fighting something.<\/p>\n

Because I’m part of a team for this run, I’m feeling very responsible for not letting the rest of the group down. \"rowersWe’re not at all competitive \u2013 this is just a fun run \u2013 but we’re still a team. We’ve already lost one person (someone else will run 10k instead of 5). If I get sick and am not able to participate next weekend, someone will have to run my part; it’s too late to find a sub.<\/p>\n

I guess having a “workout buddy” works on the same principle: Once you’ve made a commitment to someone, you’re more likely to follow through. For people who have trouble with follow-through, this can be a powerful tool.<\/p>\n

So what tools do you<\/em> use to help you stay on track?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
