Only Runners Will Understand

This week, I thought I would do something a little different.  If you are a fan of Saturday Night Live, then you will probably enjoy the sense of humor in this.
Studio C is basically like Saturday Night Live, except its clean and family appropriate for all audiences.  My 11 year old nephew and 9 year old niece were the ones who introduced me to Studio C.  In fact, it was this very clip that runners will love that I am going to show you.



I will warn you though, only a runner will really understand all the humor in this!  So my Runner Friends take a minute or a few and sit back and have a fun little laugh in your day!



If you enjoyed this fun little clip, and enjoy Saturday Night Live Humor, Studio C actually has been on the air for years and they have lots of them.  Although this is the only running related one I know of.  But seriously, my niece and nephew have me hooked, gotta love good clean humor that you don't have to worry about anything popping up that you would be embarrassed to be watching!

But I will warn you, the short little funny clips actually become addictive, LOL  I find myself watching the if I have a break at work now.  I am NOT getting paid to promote it, I just enjoy them, so if you want more you can find their You Tube channel Here.

I'd like to leave you with a little fun quote that I came across the other day, that I really loved!


I would like to quickly mention, the next Grow Your Blog Hop opened yesterday evening and is accepting entries.  If you are interested in joining and your a fitness or healthy living blogger. You can click HERE and learn more!  There are 2 hops to choose from this time, they are each 2 weeks long.  I am only allowing the first 80 (40 each hop) to join.  I checked last night at 10pm and it was already over half full :)  This is very exciting and should be a lot of fun getting to know new bloggers and their fun blogs!




Did you watch the clip?  Did you laugh?
Have you read any great running quotes lately?


Run with a Purpose

I quite often come across runners or friends who will tell me they are losing their running mojo, or things just aren't going like they would like.

There are several things we can do to get past running plateau's or  boredom, but when all else fails there is one thing ANYONE can do.



We can RUN WITH A PURPOSE

What purpose is that?

Well that is for each individual runner to decide.  Maybe your purpose is a race you registered for, or need to register for.  Possibly it's to get healthy, lose weight.  Or to raise money for an awareness or cause that is dear to your heart.

Maybe it's time to create a crazy excuse, because Monday's just became run to 80's famous movie tunes day.  Or Rock and Roll Tunes Thursdays.  Trail running Wednesday's or bring a friend with you Tuesdays:)

Possibly your writing a book and each day is a new chapter.



Your purpose doesn't even have to have meaning you can explain to others.  It could be to just clear your  head.  Have 60 minutes to yourself, your daily ME time.  To wash though your stresses and clean out your thoughts and ready yourself for the rest of what comes next in your day.

It could just be because YOU CAN, and you know not everyone is as lucky to be able to lace up their shoes on any given day and head out and enjoy the beautiful earth God created for everyone to enjoy.



The great thing about creating a purpose is, you can create as many as you need.  There is no rule that says, you can only go out and run for this... or that....  You could have a dozen, or two, because there is no limit on how many lucky charms you can keep in your pocket to use when you need them!

Write them on a board you walk past several times a day, or put them in your journal.  So you can look at them when you need a reason to go for your run!




Whatever your purpose, no matter how defining, crazy or amazing it is.  It's important to have one, its your meaning to get past any boredom, any plateau, any excuses.  It's YOUR purpose to run!


What is your purpose to run?
Do you have lots of them?
Or do you need to come up with new ones?
