Motivation to Run...

I have this goal in life, that to some would seem small. I want to run an entire 5k. I "ran" a 5k in college, but did not manage to run the entire thing. Of course, I did run over the finish line :)

My husband and I have been talking some about our need to exercise.I finally ran some yesterday, so I feel like I can post this now. I was on the homepage of pinterest the other day, and my sister in law had pinned this picture. Underneath the picture said "Put $1 in a jar every time you complete a workout. When you reach a certain goal, say $100, treat yourself to a massage or a new pair of jeans. Great motivation!"

I immediately texted my husband about the idea. He liked and and we had to think of something to do with the money that we save. He suggested a day trip to Put in Bay since he has free tickets to the ferry to the island. My mind starts working and says that we wouldn't have a lot to pay for then once we got there. Food and any other attractions that we wanted to do. That would not help with my motivation! So, we decided to give a little motivation, we could work for a night up there. Now that sounds a little more appealing to me!

Now to get out and do something! That is the true challenge. Planning is only as good as what is put into action. Someone has had to have a cool quote along those lines. Anybody know any?
