I love all your reasons and agree totally!! You go girl!!
ReplyDeleteNumber 1 and number 19 are all I need to inspire me! I just don't run! Nate does. I need to excel to running so I can lose weight and be healthy!
ReplyDeleteThis list makes me laugh! I have run off and on, but have never considered myself a "runner". I do love exercise clothes, though!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been exercising regularly (with the exception of walking with the girls) for the past year or so. Their sleep schedule just doesn't allow me to exercise and then be guaranteed a shower...and it just messes up my day if I can't at least rinse of the sweat. Ick! ;)
Thanks so much for your offer about Memphis...I'd love to run a couple of things by you. I don't think I have your email, though. Would you mind dropping me a note when you have a chance? mjemedi@hotmail.com Thanks again!
