My Bloomsday 2011 Finish

Top Ten Excuses for Not Running

1. I woke up too late.

2. I ate a big breakfast/lunch/dinner.

3. It’s too hot/cold out.

4. I’m just tired and won’t be able to give it my best.

5. I have too much to do.

6. I feel a cold coming on.

7. I haven’t shaved my legs!

8. It’s too dark out.

9. I’ll do it later today.

10. I don’t have anyone to run with me. (whine whine whine)

The bottom line is that none of these excuses are valid, unless it truly is 90*+  or below 20*. Everything else is just a sad excuse. (I should listen to myself sometime!)

GET OUT AND RUN!!

    Those are also my reasons except 8, 9 and 10. I often say I woke up late and it's too hot. It's really true but I don't know why my sister is into running. It's fun but it's really tiring.

      The boys and I used to go for a a walk every morning after breakfast last year. This year we haven't done even once! Okay, maybe once. A long time ago. In another month they will have swim team at 7:30am and will have to get used to getting up early 3 days a week. Maybe we could take walks the other two since they'll be accustomed to it! :)
