The Ups and Downs of Running
SP - how about actually forbidding yourself to run until, say, Saturday? It would remove that vague guilty feeling that you're not running and might possibly get you out there on Saturday. If it doesn't work, you only lose a few days, but it might build the anticipation needed. Also promise yourself that when you do get out there, it's going to be for fun - a nice short, slow run, just to enjoy it and to have absolutely nothing to do with marathon training.

The other thing that sometimes works for me is to decide to go out for a mere 15 minutes. Of course at the end of the 15 minutes, I always decide to keep going...
