Picture this: You have a run on the schedule, but you're tired from a busy week, it's cold outside, and there's a million things do to around the house. These excuses sound legitimate but if you let yourself skip your run, you're not going to feel great about it.

Instead of pushing your excuses away, use this meditation to listen to how absurd they sound and use them as fuel to get out and shatter your run today.

It's not often that we take the time after a run to feel proud of the hard work we just invested, especially when it's cold, snowy, or rainy. And it's even less often that we acknowledge that we went out for a run despite our lack of motivation.

Use this meditation to celebrate your hard work and recognize that you shattered your run even though you weren't motivated and the conditions weren't ideal.
