How to put the fun back

 

• Find a new route: Running apps make this task easy; one of the best is MapMyRun (free; available on iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry), which allows you to search popular routes near you.

• Choose your music carefully: The wrong music can put a damper on your workout, so make sure you’re loaded up with enough heart-pumping songs to get you moving.

• Reward yourself: There’s nothing wrong with a little healthy incentive, so if you’re dragging your feet, make yourself a deal: a fancy cup of coffee postrun or couch time with your favorite TV show at the finish line. I do both of these after a good hard run.

• Track your progress: Knowing how much you’ve improved as a runner can sometimes be all the incentive you need to power through your run. I find this a marvelous incentive producing task.
