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.
