i came across an unopened issue of runner's world this afternoon.... yea - i've been a little busy to be reading magazines lately.... let alone a running magazine! .... well that and it's been a few months since i've actually been for a decent run :)
i came across an article with some humorous phrases about running:
1. if you have to ask yourself, are these shorts too short? the answer is yes!
2. you rarely regret the runs you do; you almost always regret the runs you skip.
3. never miss a chance to thank a volunteer... even if you are running the race of your life - you can still manage a bit of eye contact and a nod as you grab a cup of water from an outstretched hand.
4. for pete's sake, stand still at red lights!! .... there's no need to jog in place or dance from foot to foot like you have to pee!!
5. learn and love the farmer's blow - (i completely disagree with this one!!! i've actually been in a race where droplets of someone's snot landed downwind on me ....eeeewwwwww!)
and my favorite phrase of the article:
before you remove your new running shoes from the box, you must smell them. open the box. peel back the tissue paper. behold those pristine shoes. then lift the box to your face and breathe deeply. mmmmm smells like potential. and possibly toxins. but mostly potential.
i LOVE the smell of new running shoes :)
