Why I Run, Reason 1
On my refrigerator, I have the picture of the most beautiful woman and a pretty close to perfect guy. They were on the cover of an issue of Runner's World. (Yes, I searched diligently but could not find a cover gallery so I could put them up here, sorry...edit, until I tried Ebay). Underneath I have a little printed sign saying 'Why I Run, Reason 1'. To be more specific, it would be reasons one and two, but I'm not being picky.
Anyhow, I know I have a loooooong way to go before achieving anything close to being even the fittest I can be, let alone the level that sits on my refrigerator. Still, some days I receive small encouragements, and today was just such a day. As I was running at my park for the first time in 15 days (yes, I've been a slug, doing mostly indoor work due to the weather), a car with a couple of cute young missies in it drives by, honks and one yell's 'Nice body!' After I was done, I also got some looks for my car and a couple of admirers stopped and said how sweet they thought it was.
Overall much ego-building for the day, especially as I have backslid in both workouts and diet for about 3 weeks now. With hope it will give me some incentive to go back tomorrow and be less slug-like! Go me!
