For many, the idea of "going for a run" is comparable to going for a whirl in an electric chair (SCARY STUFF!) But for others, those who see past the illusion of its sheer torture, you may relate to Bologna & Beans when we say;
"It's not that bad!"
In fact, we love running for funning! Reasons why you should join us:
1. Just as we decide to order pizza and watch a Modern Family marathon we'll decide to hit the asphalt with you instead. Having a running buddy will keep you running more often and motivated!
2. If we run together we can eat (Ahem: drink) together. Just think of all the calories we'll burn! That's a piece of pizza and a beer to celebrate! This fact is proven by the great Gwen Stefani of No Doubt/Gwen Stefani/L.A.M.B/Harajuku Lovers when asked how she keeps her (impossible) figure after having two children: "It's just a calories game. If you're going to eat what you want, burn enough calories to keep yourself looking good. It may be vain but it's what has worked for me." *sigh* LOVE her.
4. Because quitters never win and winners never quit:
Do any of you have a running buddy? What are your favorite reasons for running with that person?
We leave you with this thought:
"You aspire to great things? Begin with the little ones." -St. Augustine.
Whether its incorporating running into an exercise regimen or shaving off that last minute of your marathon time you've got to start somewhere. Always put your best foot forward and remember to have fun!
Bologna, my running buddy is YOUR running buddy, except we go about 10 mph SLOWER (i.e., I have turtle legs).
ReplyDeleteHow can you just start running? this is what happens to me every time that i try and start... buddy runs faster then you, and then your out of breath, then you on the ground, then you dont run for a year then it happens all over again. I would appreciate some advice or some encouragement if you would not mind. Thanks and this is a pretty darn awesome blog.
