Its a phrase used by a reatively large sports goods manufacturer - but it is a good mantra to follow.
I was out on an all-night bender on Thursday, work on Friday and was still not feeling tip-top this morning. Wasn't looking forward to heading out for a run, but if I waited until tomorrow it then impacts on which days I can run through the week so just gritted my teeth and headed out.
The first couple of miles really did seem harder than they normally are, but after that things settled down and I was feeling ok. I ended up doing 10 miles at a half-decent pace (for me anyway), which is my longest run to date (previous was 9.3 miles).
So the main point of my post is that you might not always feel like going out a run - but why not just get out there and see how it goes - because it may surprise you once you get going.
