I more identify with these fun ditties:
My husband (you'd never know this now ...) went to college on a full cross-country scholarship. Yeah, that chubby fellow up there :) He was mighty thin when I met him! He loves to evaluate the strides of runners we see, sweating along the road. Some have beautiful, smooth forward momentum. Some simply pound the pavement -- all the movement is up-and-down. Sometimes we painfully watch runners and we agree, "He would go faster if he walked!" Sometimes we note, "She's running as if her knees hurt." You can tell.
I ran once, for nine months. I got down to a size 6. It was fun for about a week, being that thin. But NO, IT WAS NOT WORTH IT. Not to me :) Swimming? Yay! Biking? Yay! Running? Bleh!
(Now I'm gonna go look for a blog label for this post. I don't have a label called "exercise" or anything close to it. That should tell me something!)

LOL. Running is definitely not for everyone. I always say, there is no shame in walking - when some of my friends respond to my excitement over my latest running record by saying they just can't run, don't want to run, hate to run... I can totally relate to that. I used to hate it. And I may not continue with it forever. But for now I'm really enjoying it.
I do find those motivational running statements on pinterest encouraging. But I also get a chuckle out of the other ones you posted. I love the scissors one. Cracks me up every time.
I guess even dyed in the wool runners need wordy pick me ups, right?
I love to run WHEN I'm used to it which hasn't happened for a good decade! It does feel good when it's over!
where there's a will there's a way...watching the latest Extreme Makeover : Weight Loss Edition was a great reminder to me...that I CAN do it, even when I don't think I can take another step! :)
I don't have an "exercise" label on my blog either. I LOVE to walk(every day) or bike. I wish I had a pool to swim in, but I don't. I do sometimes swim in the pond when the water is clean-ish.
I tried to put "Excercise!" as my label, but blogger wouldn't allow me to use the exclamation point :) For me, exercise is always an exclamatory event!!! haha :) Bless all of you runners.
