So it's kinda like supermarket shopping ...

... but the opposite?

Yep that's right. Today's dodgy untested and totally unverified (but usefully distracting to ponder between aching calves and misty glasses) theory^ is that scheduling supermarket shopping and procrastinating re jogging sort of require the same but opposing thought processes.

There is oft a rule cited that one should not shop while hungry, as the balance of biscuits to boring is good for neither body-shape nor bank-balance. In contrast if the very last thing on your wanna-do list is running but (due to previously mentioned competitive idiocy) you "have to" go anyway, hunger is a great motivator. Well ok, that and the briefest of breaks in the rain anyway (even if it did restart raining all too quickly once the latest jogging victim was spied from the control box).

In summary I firmly recommend that you consider going for your run, fellow Janathoners, when already hungry and dinner is waiting. GPs and personal trainers the world over are probably having palpitations as I type. But motivation through prevarication ... that could really take off as a concept I reckon.
