Why I Run

1. Dodging garbage trucks that back up the road is a lot more fun on foot.
2. Laughing at the fenced dogs.
3. The adrenalin rush from the dogs that AREN'T fenced.
4. Feeling tough when I tell people "oh, I ran 8 miles yesterday".
5. Eating massive amounts of food after long Saturday runs.
6. Quality time with the other Runner Girls. Well, if I was faster I'd have MORE quality time, since a lot of my quality time is spent watching their blinky LED lights recede in the distance. But they always come back for me.
7. Getting to wear blinky LED lights. I love me some gadgets. And it's only $1.99!
8. Telling people that ask me how I lost 50 pounds "I don't know. I just woke up one day like this."
9. Earning the right to have a RunnerGirl bumpersticker.
10. Learning to listen to my body, and not my brain.
