I RUN FOR GAY CUPCAKES!!!

deathcake-by-cupcake-royale.jpg?w=529&h=388

Motivation is sometimes being able to eat this chocolate deathcake knowing i burned 100 more calories in my run earlier that day than what is in the cupcake. I think that's legit.

    The only things I run for are tennis balls, zombies, and Olive Garden [see April 16 where I literally ran a 5k in 26 minutes and climbed 62 floors of stairs just to be able to eat more breadsticks].

    I run because it makes me less neurotic. And for chocolate or frilly coffee beverages. lol

    I run for booze!!! At my last 5K, I literally visualized the mimosa I would be drinking after the race!

    nothing. If you see me running, you better run too because something is chasing me. Heck, I probably wouldn't run then either.

    I run because I can.

    I couldn't always say that (still recovering from an injury that took place a three years ago and nearly made me immobile).

    I run (well just started) because I CAN'T and that pisses me off. I hate when I can't do something I want to do. :)

    Hey, I'll run/walk the hell out of a 5k. :)

    Oh, I'm also running because the thought of one day traveling to run in events excites me.

    I run because my endorphins freakin' love it! And I love them.

    I used to run because I was sick in ICU with congestive heart failure, and then it was for health related causes, and finally I reached nirvana on Nikes.

    I run because I love it, but also because I love to eat lots of food and have a bottomless pit of a stomach. :smile:

    1) for the sense of accomplishment. This is why I don't run on treadmills because I feel like I'm not going anywhere... but knowing "i ran through my entire neighborhood twice" feels pretty good.
    2) I run so I don't feel guilty eating a popsicle after dinner
    3) to shed the pounds faster
    4) its literally the only quiet time I get to myself where I don't have to deal with LIFE.

    these colors don't run!!

    I lift heavy. when I need cardio, I lift faster!

    OK, throw in some burpees, double unders, box jumps, or a good hero WOD, and I get all the cardio I need.

    Enjoyment.

    Fantastic company....I have two good friends who I run with so we can chat, support and motivate

    Nothing beats the fresh air and the changing countryside through the seasons...I live in Salisbury UK and we are minutes from beautiful countryside :-)
