20 Excuses that I Haven't Run

Well, I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, but my body and my hubby sure have.  I have NOT been working out AT ALL, let alone been running in about 1 month!  What's my problem?!  Today, I finally got my butt back in the gym, and I feel good.  While on the elliptical, I started thinking about what I would blog about, since that's also taken a backseat lately.  Aha!  Excuses for why I haven't been doing anything lately....

20.  I'm tired.
19.  It's too late in the day.
18.  It's too early to get up.
17.  It's too dark out.
16.  I have a cold.
15.  I have a headache.
14.  I'd rather be home with the kids.
13.  I feel like eating Halloween candy instead.
12.  I just ate, and my stomach's too full.
11.  I just don't feel like it.
10. I'm too busy.
9.  I have to clean.
8.  My neck hurts.
7.  I need warmer running clothes.
6.  It's just too cold.
5.  My bed is cozy.
4.  I owe it to myself to rest since I did my first half marathon.
3.  I owe it to myself since I still must get up in the middle of the night with my infant daughter.
2.  I haven't shaved my legs (think running shorts).

BUT truly the REAL and #1 reason/excuse I have NOT worked out/nor run.....

#1:  I've just been too L-A-Z-Y!



Well, here's to starting again.  I did 20 minutes on the elliptical this evening, along with weights (back, shoulders and abs).  I think I might need to sign up for another race or something in order to motivate me.  I really need to keep my momentum going and do what I know I can do.  And why not!?  I really do LOVE running.  It's just that hump of getting up and doing it.

Okay, that's all.  Happy running.
