I love running. period.
However, running in the winter (this year in particular) has been particularly difficult for me. When I wake up in the morning, the thought of dragging myself out of my cozy, warm bed…..is just not appealing. My laziness always seems to takeover (although, some may call it lazy, I call it selective participation).
Fortunately, I do love working out, so whether it’s in the morning or the evening, I typically always find time to workout during the day because I genuinely enjoy it and look forward to it. Though I will say, that having the proper accessories always makes it more enjoyable….plus, it gives me even more motivation than normal. And by “accessories” I mean, cute clothes (lulemon
, comfy shoes, tasty gels/gummies/drinks and most importantly….energizing music. Whether outside or on the treadmill, the below songs have been on the top of my playlist recently. Without fail, they pump me up and get me excited to keep on keeping on!

Good playlist!
Wicked playlist
but even that playlist couldn’t get me out for a run. I would just lay in bed with my headphones in. That shows how lazy I am!
I have such a hard time getting up & running when it’s cold! Especially this past week because I’ve had that nasty head cold that’s made me all stuffy. But this morning I finally forced myself to get up & go and I felt so much better after I did! Even though I could barely breathe through my nose lol.
Great playlist by the way!
