Bribery

This is what bribery looks like.

Today I really didn't want to go for a run. My legs are still tired from that 16 miler on Sunday and they don't want to run. Fair enough you say?

Well yes so would I, except I felt guilty about not going for our usual hill run last night. (I had no intention of going yesterday, that would have been crazy - you need recovery time)

At lunch time I went to Tesco to pick up a few things. In the reduced section was a Finest Sirloin Steak. Can you see where I'm going with this?

I decided I could have the steak IF I went for the hill run.

I'm pleased to report that I went. I even ran up all these steps. Bit knackered now though!

Bribery is an act of giving money or gifts that alters the behavior of the recipient. Should I worry that I just bribed myself?
