As I said in my first post, I don't believe that I am cut out to be a runner. Nor do I have the desire, at this point, to endeavor to make myself one. I am not doubting the benefits of running for a moment, but of the other physical and competitive goals I have for myself, running isn't up there.
That said, the above was a great article. I'm so quick to excuse myself from going a little bit longer, or even making the effort at all, because my body is tired from a particularly long work day, or I don't think I have the mental energy to put myself together again before bed and get my thirty minutes in. But I find when I set myself up with optimism and a no-justifications-for-not-doing-it mindset, I don't even get into the cycle of questions and complaints that keeps me homebound.
Now, back to the thought of being a runner. It mostly appeals to me in this moment because I am lusting after these and holding a 20% off REI coupon:
The Merrell Lithe Glove Cross-Trainer. I own two pair of Merrell barefoot shoes, a simple Mary Jane style. Wear them all the time. Not the prettiest things in the world but the shoes I'm happiest to walk all day in, and I've been doing my workouts with no shoes or my Merrells.
I want a pretty wacky color, too. Why not? I just bought hot coral pink glasses. Now I need matching shoes.
