Top Ten Reasons to be a Runner

You can thank David Letterman for this post. I was watching his count down when I got my idea to do something similar for runners.

 

10. You can cross in the middle of the street and have a really good chance at beating the traffic.

9. You can wear the same clothes that you wore in high school. Okay, may be college.

8. You get to buy a new pair of shoes every couple of months.

7. People always think you are really healthy.

6. Gives you a reason to get up at 4 AM to meet other people to run for a couple of hours. – call it a bounding experience.

5. You are willing to pay a huge amount of money for a Saturday morning breakfast with access to stale bagels and flavors of Powerade or Gatorade the some store couldn't sell.

4. You don't have enough T-shirts to wear

3. Runners are known as really smart people but sometimes do really dumb things.

2. Finally learn what being "hot and sweaty" really means

1. You can eat all the calories you want and never gain a pound – at least some people think this is the case.
