Running Can’t Wait…
Considering the age of the earth, we only get a few precious moments to enjoy it.
The times you spend with family and loved ones are always cherished. But sometimes we forget how great it is just to run.
IT won’t be long until joints are sore, and those nagging injuries become a regular way of life. And, unfortunately, a time when running will no longer be an option.
So, RUN WHILE YOU CAN. There will be plenty of time for sitting in front of the computer, or watching “Lost” reruns later, but the time you have to run is limited.

You Should Be Running
“I don’t have time.” or “I’m too busy.” these are two of the most common excuses given when someone gets asked why they aren’t more active.
The same person puts in a few good hours a week with The Bachelorette, or chasing friends on Facebook.
Get off the chair, couch, whatever, shut down the computer, and get out there. Go running. The TV or computer will be there when you get back.
You don’t have unlimited time, but you do have control over your time. Use it to make yourself better.
Log Off And GO RUN.
