How much of fatigue is mental?

RUN 6.6 miles in 57-58 mins
COMMUTE 6 miles

When I wake up in the morning, and as I prepare for my workout, sometimes I have a moment of "oh I'm too tired for this" or "I'm going to get dropped, today's not my day". Most of the time I'm just fine, especially if I'm with a group. It leads to that "I'm stronger than I think" mentality.

How much of fatigue is mental? What proportion of that whine and doubt is just laziness talking? If I could just ignore how tired I think I am, how much faster or farther would I go?
