Run for the Wild - LIONS!

I so did not want to run this week. I had no motivation whatsoever. But as Josh reminded me, I’m the one who wanted to be a runner, so run I must! (I think he just wanted me to leave so he could watch uninterrupted television, but I’ll take inspiration where I can get it.) So Tuesday night I took a running tour of the neighborhood looking for cool restaurants and bars. Here’s a secret: runners run just so we can enjoy more food and beer. Beer IS a carb. True story. And the running tour worked! It got me out there running and I even enjoyed myself. It even had built in stops to look and menus and prices. 


Thursday came around, and again I really didn’t want to run and you can only go on so many running restaurant tours before you look like a nut. So instead I opted for a whole new scene. I didn’t run. Instead, I got up early this morning to see what the world looks like at 6:30 in the morning. It’s a lot quieter. And less smelly. And the air feels better. So what’s the point of all of this? The point is, it’s good to mix it up. 


 In other news, I spur of the moment signed up for the Run for the Wild. It’s kind of next weekend. Luckily it’s a 5K, so I think I’m good. And I get free entry to the zoo! But first I have to raise $30 to help lions. If you’d like to donate, please do so here.  If not, I’ll just make Josh do it :)
