You know how I enjoy the end result, net-net, the bottom line and/or Cliff Notes summaries? Well, when I came across some “Rules of the Road” in Runner’s World magazine, I just had to share them…right after I enjoyed a chuckle. Runner’s World Magazine adapted this summary from the book, “The Runner’s Rule Book.” Enjoy.
1. If you see a porta potty with no line, USE IT! Even if you don’t need to.
2. If you have to ask yourself, “Does this driver see me?”… the answer is no.
3. If you have to ask yourself, “Are these shorts too short?”…the answer is YES.
4. 1 glazed doughnut = 2 miles. ‘Nuff said.
5. You rarely regret the runs you do; you almost always regret the runs you skip.
6. Not everyone who looks fast really is, and not everyone who looks slow really is.
7. Nobody has ever watched “Chariots of Fire” from beginning to end. Not even the people who made it.
8. You can never have too many safety pins in your gym bag.
9. Running any route in the rain makes you feel 50% more hard core than covering the same route on a sunny day.
10. If you care even a little about being called a jogger vs. a runner, you’re a runner.
This is our first official full week of 2010, so let’s ROCK ON & stay strong!
