Excuses Not to Run

As Caitlin leaves the house on this beautiful Saturday morning to go on a run, 

Justine and I sit here on the couch saying excuse after excuse why we can't go running....

here they are in all their absurdity:

"Sorry, I'm getting over a cold."

"I have bad knees."

"I already walked to upper campus today."

"I literally (more like figuratively) get side-aches every time I run."

"I think I'll do Jillian Michael's work out video later today."

"I think I'll go walk on the beach, instead."

"I just ate."

"I have really bad cramps."

"I don't like running in our neighborhood."

"I heard that running on pavement is bad for your feet."

"I already took a shower today."

"I'm more of swimmer." (although she never goes swimming...)

"I have a ton of homework."

"I'm pregnant."

"I don't want to train too hard yet."

"My ipod is dead."

"I just don't want to get sweaty."

"All my workout clothes are dirty."

"I already ran a half-marathon."

"It's too cold...It's too hot." (note: we live in Santa Barbara).

"We'll start running when we graduate."

That's why we look to Caitlin who defies all excuse.
