No excuses

We’ve got snow again but I’m due to run tonight, so…

No excuses. Just do the work.

  1. I wanted to skip yesterday’s run due to sheer exhaustion, but on my training log I had written a quote for the day that said: “If running wasn’t hard, you wouldn’t do it.”

  2. I use ice as a huge excuse. “If I slip and fall on the ice and hurt myself I won’t be able to run when the ice is gone…” (That’s what I tell myself anyway…)

  3. Yup. My college softball coach used to say, “Excuses are for losers.” That stuck with me ;-)
    Tomorrow I have my first 5k. It’s supposed to snow (again, like the last two days here). Yuck.

  4. Oh dear… I am truly a fair weather runner. Sucking in cold wind and chugging along on precarious ice is not my idea of a run. Fortunately, the good days far out number the bad weather days. I hear central England got hit with quite the snowfall. Did that affect you? ~Thea
