I took this bleak, misty day (and the battery in my truck being dead) as a great motivator to go ahead and run to the gym, do a quick 1/2 hour back workout, and run back home. Might as well start running outside more since there's no snow and I'm training to run outside anyways. It's exactly 1 mile to the gym from my house, and in the trip there and back I was able to learn and think about a lot.
I seem to hit the "wall" much faster when I'm running outside. It's probably due to having to check for traffic, rocks, potholes, etc., and my mind can't focus as well. So I discovered a little game I used to trick my mind, which was as I was running on a sidewalk, I would look down and try to not run on the sidewalk cracks. For some reason, I ran faster and longer than if I hadn't played this mind game. Either ways, it still felt really good to run outside, and I made it to the gym and home faster than I expected.
I also weighed myself (I think it's been about a week since I started this?) and I'm down to 114 lbs. So -3 lbs. It shows, too! Yay, cardio!
