10 REASON WHY YOU SHOULD START RUNNING... NOW

I am very well placed to know how annoying it is to have to exercise after long working hours or before a bad*** party. While browsing the internet, I realized many people felt that way and thus, I decided to post few reasons explaining why running is not that bad after all. 

1. Most races and fun runs are full of hot bodies dressed in extremely light clothing no matter the weather which means there's a free pass to an aesthetically environment. Wear your sunglasses and go enjoy the view.

2. You can lose weight by drinking nothing but hot water with lemon. Or you can run for an hour, treat yourself to a cookie and still fit into your skinny jeans. One of these options makes you bitchy; the other makes you rad.

3. Take your iPod with you, and your runs suddenly become a safe place to indulge your love of not-so- popular music. With enough practice, you can even blend in a couple of dance moves; One of those ridiculous ones that you would never ever do in a club or bar while wearing high heels and a short dress. 

4. When your boss, your melodramatic friend or your grumpy boyfriend won’t leave you alone, calmly put on your running shoes and head out the door. They won’t follow you. It’s a safer alternative to storming out screaming with both middle fingers in the air (you should still do this in your head just for spectacular effect).

5. You’ll discover lulu-lemon pants are good for more than just buying tampons. They are comfy, sexy and if cautiously chosen, give you a fine butt. 

6. Running is the last place you have to “be a lady” and we women all need to connect with our manly side: sweat, snot, burp and even sneak behind a bush to pee; it will definitely be a pleasant feeling. 

7. Going for a run right before going out for a drink means you get tipsy on half a glass of wine instead of your usual two. That’s not being a lush, that’s just sound economic planning.

8. Studies have shown that runners have better sex. Sex counts as a cross-training workout, which in turn makes you a better runner. Thus, the naked truth is that running leads to even better sex.

9. Girls are lucky; there’s an entire industry committed to making us look awesome while getting our sweat on. Workout clothes come in all sorts of cool colors and designs. Jockstraps, on the other hand, will always be ugly with questionable stains.

10. Non-runners will sit on the couch and call you crazy. Those people will never learn what their bodies are capable of. You, on the other hand, will die knowing you from head to toe by using every inch of it. That’s not crazy, that means knowing how to utilize free, natural resources for a better self. 

I wish i could take (full credit) for this post but these facts were found in various "fitness" blogs. Now, chop chop, but your sneakers on and run out the door.
