Rational & Illogical Conversations: Running

Trying to find motivation to go on a run:

Rational: "It's such a nice day outside, you should definitely go for a jog on the Greenline."
Illogical, Lazy: "Nahhhh...I should eat some chips instead."
Rational: "But, if you start running today, you could get a start on getting bikini ready..."
Illogical, Lazy: "Naaah, I'll just wear sweatpants to the beach."
Rational: "You can't wear sweatpants to the beach."
Illogical, Lazy: "Yeah, I can. Watch me."
Rational: "Fine. What if you ran for 90 seconds and then walked 90 seconds. That's a good start..."
Illogical, Lazy: "What if I sat on the couch for 90 minutes and then sat on the couch for 90 more minutes?"
Rational: "No. That's awful! Okay, what if you went on a run for 10 minutes? That's not very long."
Illogical, Lazy: "What if I ate ice cream instead?"
Rational: "Come on...let's go. If you run for 20 minutes, you could eat some of that Ben & Jerry's Half Baked and not feel guilty about it..."
Illogical, Lazy: "I'll just eat it anyway and not feel guilty about it...no running required."
Rational: "Alright, last try. If you run for 10 minutes, you don't have to run for another month."
Illogical, Lazy: "And you promise that you won't bug me for another month about this?"
Rational: "Right."
Illogical, Lazy: "Deal."
