Ugh, by the Yellow King, yes! That is exactly my poopy puppy. I adore him. He's a lovely companion, just us. But a car was coming down the driveway behind us one time and I was dragging him, inconsolable, back to the house. Like, bananas.

These days, I need to be motivated if I’m going to run. Ideally, being chased by a shrieking clown who’s waving a bloody knife.

Indeed. I can hit a certain point in my cardio development where I've jogged for a quarter mile before with this surreal feeling of "Am...am I running? This is easy...almost like these aren't even my legs..." Eventually it hits you, but for like 2 minutes straight I was clopping along at a good pace and looking around strangely like I just discovered that you could run without it feeling like hel to your lungs and body.
But yeah, it isn't my chosen exercise. I find that the least successful exercise routines for me are the ones where I have to be very "present" for. But then again, with the ADHD, that is pretty much any task. They call it maladaptive daydreaming. I call it multi-tasking.
