Ouch to #5. I run and I promise I have never shat my pants. I’m not gross – although I DO smell gross when I’m done. What are we? Addicts. Running addicts precisly because of the last thing you said in your post. Keep going!

The thing about running in gross weather is that it actually makes you feel like more of a badass.

One time I was out running and it started to snow (which for a lot of people wouldn’t be a big deal at all but I live in NC and it snows like once every three years here or something), anyway, I’m running, I notice that it’s snowing and suddenly I just felt like, wow, I am SO AWESOME, I can do anything, I am running in the freaking SNOW. Nevermind that it was just snow flurries.

Also, running when it’s cold helps me keep my pace up– because if you slow down when it’s cold, then YOU get cold. Keep running, stay warm. That’s motivation.

How I miss all the snooty runners..NOT..Amen to #5. I do miss running and can’t wait to start running seriously after having the baby. For now, I’ll deal with walking fast and trying to squeeze my butt together like I have a wedge.

You make me want to be a runner. Seriously.

I admire you because, in my world, the reasons NOT to almost always win over the more important reason TO. My brain goes “you know you can do it, but you’re choosing to do this instead” and then I loaf around for a while and then I get mad at myself and then its time to start my “real” day of working, running errands, etc. So…you rock!

“It makes me feel like I’m capable of doing anything I set my mind to.” – I dont think you need that reason. I think proof of that already exists in your world already. Youve given birth twice already, you put down alcohol, you ran to the top of a TALL BUILDING! Honestly there are a million things in your life that should prove that to you everyday. Running doesnt need to be one of them. ;)

Jealous of how running apparently acts as a laxative for everyone in the world except me. Those Nutter Butters and $3 gummy bears sit like a rock inside me and weigh my ass down while I’m hauling it up a hill.
