That's exactly what did it for me, too. Except it wasn't a trainer, but a Couch to 5k like podcast. I found one that was much much more beginner friendly than C25k and also gave a strength and rest plan. Using the podcast and seeing hte weeks go by has made me much more motivated to get out and run, even on wet 5 degree centigrade days, let alone the 30 degree days. Just something to hold yourself accountable to, really. I've also found it's why many of my other projects/ideas/desires don't pan out. There's nothing to hold me accountable, so I get bored and move on. It sucks, because it feels like I'm trapped in a rutt, but I don't know of a way to really manage that.
