I've enjoyed reading these posts, and they reminded me of one of my favorite quotes, that relates to this. I think of it whenever I don't want to exercise (or wash dishes or whatever!) because it doesn't make me happy at the time or exercise is uncomfortable:

We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about.
- Charles Kingsley

Julie: you definitely sound enthusiastic about fitness, and I assume this helps alleviate the necessity for "comfort" (as in, running is uncomfortable!), because you know that your enthusiasm is what makes you happy in the end. Discomfort is temporary, as in: getting out of bed in the morning at 4am (hee hee). We can all learn a lot from your enthusiasm!
