One thing I've always found amusing is the weird "unknown other" sense you always get on one forum when referring to other competing forums for a particular interest. It's basically verbotten to link to a road bike review thread, and it is the same way on other special interest forums. Or maybe I'm just imagining that.

There is a social cyclists' forum, but it seemed that even posting a link to it would get your posting deleted and 2 demerits. Maybe BF is a little more lax, I noticed a link to rbr forum recently that did not get taken away.

Maybe you guys can motivate me. Every Monday afternoon I resolve to go for a run in the evening. By the time I get home from work (around 6:30) and eat dinner and wind down, it's 8ish and I really should go for a short run but I feel tired. Anyone want to give me some tips for keeping myself honest this week? The easiest way to stay honest is to not plan to run, obviously...

I hope my comment isn't misconstrued, because it is intended as a sincere compliment. This forum needs more newbs with his enthusiasm and resiliency.

RE: running... why don't you just do it before work on Friday? I've had so many evenings, even in my single days when no one cared where I was or what I was doing after work, where I would tell myself I'd go for a night run before bed but I'd almost never do it. Like maybe a 5% success rate.
If I wake up early, I'll force myself to do it because it makes me feel better the rest of the day.

I'm not. I'll have to read through it first, hadn't even bothered opening that one yet.

Regarding running, I think I should consider getting up early to run instead of doing it later. But that would put me in @Heathpack category of awakening at 4:30 or 4:45. I have to be out the door by 6:50 most days. Grrr.

You can do what I do, which is probably the worst possible situation. I set my alarm for 4:45 and snooze it over and over again for at least an hour. I eventually roll out of bed and have my coffee/walk the dog, and I'm lucky if I get on the trainer by 7 (at work by 8:30). I feel like waking up every 8 minutes to silence an alarm is less restful than just waking up, yet I keep doing it. One day I'll learn.

Not for everyone but if you can make it work, its a nice quiet time and a really great start to your day. For me, it really helps with the triple tasking and stress management.
I leave my house at 7:10, though, so I get where you're coming from.
Speaking of triple tasking, crazy morning for me. Full appointment schedule and three pick ups from the ER and another walk-in emergency in the middle of it all. One cerebellar infact and two dogs with cluster seizures. Plus a spinal trauma, dog who was hit by a car. I say it was a walk-in but that dog can't actually walk.

BTW, when I said another forum earlier, I meant another sub-forum other than the #41 .
