monday runday

back into the grove today; wondering why i run.
now i know; yes i know!

because i love to eat. and i don't diet. and i don't exercise.
but i do need to fit into my pants. (i can't afford new pants).

i feel a snotty pride in waking up before others.
and i need to not have the note on my online dating profile about "loving to run" be a complete and utter lie.

i run because i like not having to buy safety pins. buy one 5k entry, get 4 safety pins free!

walking's great. running's better.
