Excuses. Excuses. Excuses.

Reasons why I didn't run my long run (5-miler) today.
  1. I had already laundered my workout clothes and they are ready for my trip.
  2. Since I am taking my favorite tops and bottoms with me, I didn't have another favorite top/bottom I could wear to tempt me into running.
  3. It was hot.
  4. This small town I live in have been having its annual small-town festival since Thursday night. 
    The Y is in the middle of the town. The time I would go run at the Y coincided with the small-town festival 5K and parade and traffic.
  5. I could have ran the 5K. But I'm too cheap to spend $25 on a 5K where I only paid $30 for a
    half-marathon. Besides, I have been buying presents to take home with me. So, plopping down $25 isn't really what I want to do.
  6. My boyfriend has a booth and kept the office's showroom open for customers. That meant I was helping out. That meant late nights, not enough sleep, and a lot of work to do. 
  7. I just want to spend every minute, every second with the boyfriend since I am leaving soon. 
I probably won't run Sunday or Monday either (See #7.)  I love running. I love shaving miles off my to-run list. Love adding miles to the ticker.com thingy. But I love him just a tad more. So, I choose him. 

I plan on running when I am in Singapore. I have my favorite running tanks, bottoms, Body Glide, socks and shoes packed in my suitcase. I plan on walking with my mom at the park. I plan on doing a run/walk with my best friend. I plan on doing lots of walking. So, expect me to blog about that (and my fat-talk experiences, my culinary experiences, my travel experiences).


I am ending this post with a few pictures of the products we proudly make here in Arkansas.

    Second, don't feel bad about wanting to spend more time with your boyfriend before you take off for your big adventure. You won't see him for a while! I look forward to hearing more about your trip. Good luck. :)

  13. First - I like the furniture!

    Second - I didn't run either. I was with the boyfriend. And then went to be the annual festival and watched a parade. I probably didn't need to tell you this because subconsciously you had to already know!

    So you go to Singapore... and I go to Seattle! Have a wonderful trip. Share lots of photos with us!
