I saw this on Pinterest earlier this week and thought, "Dang it! It's true." I keep wanting to run more and all I have to do is lace up my shoes and get my butt out the door! A run could take as little as 20 minutes so busyness is no excuse.

Going for a good run is so therapeutic. I feel fit and strong and healthy. I have time to just think or to zone out and not think. For the past couple of years I've been loving spin class and my running has become more infrequent. It almost feels easier to go to spin class (even though it's a really tough workout) since you get to listen to fun music and someone else motivates you the entire time.

But I love the simplicity of running; I want to get back to it! When I read running posts on (never home)maker and on Elise's adorable blog I want to go for a run right away…and then I don't. Arg!

So I'm on the look-out for a good race or running challenge to get me to lace up my shoes and get out the door. And I definitely need new running shoes…I think it's been a couple of years since I bought running shoes. And maybe like Elise I need some fun laces? Yes!
