Have you ever restarted running after not running for a while? (I no longer run but this was the case for me after both of my pregnancies.) At first, you can only handle 5-10 minutes of straight on running. You have to start slowly so you don't get shin splints or another injury that will sabatoge your goal (be smart about how you go about it). But when it comes to getting started and increasing your distance--it really is a mind over matter thing. You have to tell yourself that you can do it (and unless we are injured, morbidly obese, that sort of thing--we really all can though everyone's pace might vary). You have to run even though it hurts a bit but after a while it doesn't hurt at all unless you are adding more distance or speed to the run. Assume that you can do something (pick a goal) that is good for you everyday. Even if it is just one thing--congratulate yourself and feel like you deserve to watch that movie so long as you did something that needed to be done that day. Baby steps but surely we all have time to do just ONE healthy thing a day; we mostly need to get into the habit just like I have a habit of brushing my teeth right before I go to bed. I don't know if this pep talk will help--I know depression hijacks our will but just remember, without baby steps, we would never have walked.
