As someone who is relatively new to the sport of running and an All American pro at happy hour drinking, I thought I would share some of my thoughts with you that about why going for a run just might be better than going to the bar:
1. Almost everyone smiles at me as I pass them
2. The guys usually don't have beer bellies and are commonly found shirtless (and for you guys out there, the same goes for the ladies on the trail)
3. The runners high doesn't make me crave tacos stuffed with meat like substances
4. Burning calories rather than consuming calories
5. I can make it home on my own two feet - although I have thought about calling a cab or being carried home once or twice
6. Comfortable clothes and shoes
7. I have not even once dialed up a friend, coworker, ex boyfriend, or crush and professed anything to him/her while on a run
8. It feels better to say "Last night I ran (#) miles" rather than "Last night, I had (#) beers."
9. I get to choose the music I listen to without dropping 5 bucks in an automated machine filled with greatest hits albums and soundtracks
10. There is no embarrassing website called texts from my run last night

Love this post!!
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't hate running so much, you'd have convinced me to go run. Maybe I can just substitute "ride" everywhere it says run. I love my bicycle:) and the overall ideas appear to be good- no matter what your sport!
