Fitness

Reasons NOT to Run:
  • too cold/snowy
  • long day/too tired
  • too much to do around the house or at the office
  • Fat Puppy needs me
  • couch isn't just for looks, someone has to sit on it

Reasons not to run= doughy camp director

As I was packing my bag to come to the sun and warmth of the South, I told myself that if I was going to pack the running shoes and iPod, I was going to have to use them. Plus, if someone is going to give me the gift of warm weather in March, I can't just squander it away indoors.

From the time I drop the little one at preschool until I pick him up, I have about 3 1/2 hours of free time. And so, for the past three days, I have been running. Well, okay, running is a loose term. I usually run about 10 feet and then walk/hobble/whimper the rest of the way. It's an unfortunate thing to witness and I'm not sure what the neighbors will report back to my cousin and his wife, but I couldn't possibly be more pathetic, so it can only get better from here, right?

I will get in shape before the summer. And since I have some free time, I will use it. And so, let the running continue.
