Running: 5 more tips to stay motivated

16. THE PILE OF DISHES in the sink can wait till the sun goes down. Your tempo run can't.

17. RUN AT LUNCH. Daniel Sheil, a marathon coach in Portland, Oregon, recommends lunchtime runs for two reasons: (1) You get your workout in before the day gets away from you; (2) You get a midday break from work stress.

18. THAT NEW RUNNING WATCH you want? Buy it--after timing 10 more speed sessions with your old one.

19. WATCH THIS Chariots of Fire In this stirring 1981 Oscar winner for Best Picture, two British athletes prepare for and compete in the 1924 summer Olympics. For bonus motivation, download the famous Vangelis theme to your MP3 player for tomorrow's run.

20. WEAR A PEDOMETER on your run. Distance sounds more impressive in steps. Some tricked-out sports watches also record steps.
