Here are some of the many excuses that go through my head everyday for not wanting to get out and train for the Half-Marathon...
2. Mother once told me that too much running could make your uterus fall out.
3. Someone will see my gimpy running gait.
4. I just ate and I don't wanna puke.
5. I stayed up too late last night watching Netflix movies.
6. Its too hard to arrange for the kids to be cared for while I run.
7. I used to think I might have asthma.
8. If I do run the Half, I will get into shape and then I will no longer have an excuse not to buy the Imogene and Willie jeans I want. I will have to spend MONEY.
9. I HATE "fitness" music.
10. I fear crazy drivers, stray dogs, and magpies.
11. I always forget sunscreen and my dermatologist told me pasty-whites like me will wrinkle earlier without it.
12. I will wear out my cute new shoes.
13. I am not a runner! I hate running and I can't run! I will fall down! I am a MUSICIAN!
blah blah blah BLAH
Honestly... thanks, Jared, for encouraging me to take a run this morning. It was supremely refreshing and beautiful outside!

I hate it too, but I have to do SOMETHING! Remember when I blamed my muffin top on my elastic today????, lies, all lies.
I think you are a brave soul. I say the same thing every morning and pull the covers over my head, knowing that if I went and ran the feeling would be wonderful. I am with you and still am in for the challenge...lets do it!
It is the cold for me.
Running sucks, Stace. That's my excuse.
OK, so I really don't ever see running in my future. But, I do see getting in shape in my future. My Near Future, I hope. I have been inspired by a friend of mine to look into "Body for Life", or his new book "Transformation" by Bill Phillips. I would highly recommend you watch a little video of one lady who has also super inspired me to begin this program. (I just started on Monday! Here's to will power!) Go to http://www.transformation.com/pages/public/videos-public and click on Leslie Groft's video. I really connect with her, and if she did it, I can do it too! BTW, she is a runner!
