No runner's high has ever permeated my pea brain and I doubt one ever will.
I've developed a few strategies which work nicely to delay getting off my fat lazy butt and opening the door and getting moving.
Here are a few, in no particular order:
• Decide that you need to untwist your already tied and tightened shoelaces: this is an excellet delaying tactic, as oftimes you first have to unlace your shoes and then relace them without retwisting them. This tactic doesn't work with fancy puffy semi-flat 3D laces because they are hard to twist unintentionally.
• Take off a shoe after you're all laced up and ready with freshly untwisted laces because you feel a tiny grain of sand-sized something or other inside one of your shoes.
• Locate your cat (if you are fortunate enough to have one) and sit or lie down next to it and pet it. Win-win.
• Check in a mirror to see if you need a haircut.
• Check the weather report on your phone/watch/computer: every second you linger inside it's getting hotter and more uncomfortable outside.
• Organize the stuff in your freezer.
• Make your bed.
• Check your spreadsheet to see if it's time to start binging-watching a a multi-episode series you've been looking forward to.
