…and this is exactly why these babies have not gotten any play. At least, that is the excuse that I am using.
Running. One of the easiest ways to stay fit and healthy. One of the hardest things for me to motivate myself to do. I harp on it a bit in my post My Love/Hate Relationship With Running.
With it being cold, I have an excellent excuse for me not to hit the road. Oh, and don’t even mention treadmills. I can’t stand them. I’d rather beat pavement. That way I can actually see something different as I run. The way it’s looking right now the spring will be my best bet to chuck my excuse over a bridge. It won’t be cold anymore. Flowers will start to bloom. Everything will begin to wake up. My motivation to run better be one of them.
A blog friend of mine is a serious runner who is part of the New York chapter Road Runners club. I have been checking out the DC Road Runners club in my area. Not too bad. They have weekly runs that look very promising. Their Monday night run looks like it could be a good time. Afterwards, everyone goes out for burgers and beer. Good times.
They are hosting a Happy Hour this week that I am thinking of attending. It’s a way to mingle with local runners in regular clothes instead of running gear. Could be a great motivator for me to get out there and run before the spring. Doubt it…but one can hope right? Lol.
