The Monday Project: Fill in the Blank

I elliptical because my body was, and may still be, broken.

I elliptical because it makes me feel good.

I run because I want to prove to myself that I can do it.

I run because it’s hurts so damn bad that it must be doing something good to my body.

I run because I want to cross the finish line for Peyton and Ezra and all the other cancer patients.

I run because I never in a million years thought I would. But I did -finally- last weekend.

I lift weights because I want to be strong.

I lift weights so that I can kick ass. You know. Just in case I need to.

    Psh… you already DO kick ass! :) You don't need to lift weights!

    But seriously, keep lifting, I want to pull 1st place again next week. Lol, I'm kidding with you.

    I admire you for being able to do the elliptical… that sh*t is ROUGH.

    Loved the last line!

    Me? I elliptical because my knees hate me when I run. I ran because I had to. I lift weights to stay on an even mental plain (some days). Other days, I just like moving heavy things and listening to loud music. In my ears only.

    Hah!! ;p

    The elliptical is SO MUCH easier for me than the treadmill/trying to run!!!

  • shrinkingjeans

    Yes, definitely. I should have added that: I workout to keep my sanity. ;)

    Awesome reasons to take care of yourself and “kick some a$$” if I do say so myself!
    So proud of you for sticking with it even though you have some injuries holding you back.
