Runner Girl Problems

Another FITabulous weekend gone by in sunny So Cal! I came home from a run on Saturday morning and my family was already in the pool! I took off my running shoes and dipped my feet in. Then snapped this picture, which then lead to this post.........


Runner Girl Problems

1. Your feet will always be white!
2. You will get depressed if you can not get a good run in at least once a week.
3. You will have more medals, race t-shirts, race bags, and bibs than you know what to do with!
4. Your husband may or may not get annoyed that you use all your extra money on 5k races, 10k races, mud runs, color runs, half marathons and anything else that has to do with running!
5. You will lose weight and get those nice runners legs and your new favorite season just might be summer so you can wear SHORTS!!!!!
6. Your friends and family might see how much fun you are having running all the time and they just might join in with you.
5. You will feel free, empowered, less stressed, the best you have felt in your life,  and closer to God when you are outside running and breathing in that fresh air!
7. The price of your shoes in your closet may be a lot! not because of designer heels, but because of the price of running shoes!
8. You will compete with yourself and feel more powerful than you ever have when you push yourself those long distances!
9. You may never do your hair on weekends anymore because those are your long run days and rest days.
10. Your feet may hurt..... from kicking so much ass!
11. You may never stop running because it is a part of who you are now! It's a hobby, a life style, a passion, and the road only goes up from here.......


I can keep going on about all these great "problems", but 11 is one of my favorite numbers so I'll stop there for now! If any of you would like to add to the list feel free in the comments!!!!

Ta-Ta for now FITabulous readers!!!!!
XOXO

  3. 13. Running is a way to detox after a long week with 2 children, 2 and under!

    P.S. I wish we were neighbors so we could run together!!

  4. Because running IS my therapy. Because I choose not to drink or party because a good run means more to me.

  7. I just wanted to comment for the sole reason to tell you that your hair is absolutely gorgeous! Love the color & it looks really healthy. What kind/brand of products do you use?
