Five Good Reasons to Get Out the Door
July 25, 2007 | Tags: reasons-to-run
1) Runners are sexy - with the possible exception of swimmers, there’s no one with better bods out there. Great legs, tiny buns, and a little bit of upper body that you can’t get with cycling.
2) Runners are low-maintenance. Shoes, road, and … well, that’s it.
3) Runners are sociable - think about all the aerobic zone training advice we get - “You should be able to carry on a conversation while running”. See, if we’re talking, we’re being sociable.
4) Runners are nice to children and dogs - tough to run over little kids when you’re running, and dogs make great running partners - they listen while you talk (See #3 above)
5) Runners pick up litter - Don’t you usually end your runs by dropping off something in the trash can? Makes the world a nicer place.
Run well!





Runners make good dog catchers too (see #4). This morning on my run I helped a woman catch her stray pooch, and that’s not the first time I’ve done that for someone.
Swimmers do have great bodies. Hmmmmm.
