With my first race of the fall less than two weeks away I finally got new shoes. As you may expect legs are very important to running and the key to a healthy set of legs is a good pair of shoes. Many of you know I spend a couple nights a week moonlighting as a modern day Al Bundy at Charm City Run Annapolis http://www.charmcityrun.com/annapolis . If you can't find me sniffing new shoes in the back or fitting new runners with awesome kicks you'll find me trying new wheels on my feet. I've been running in shoes called Newtons for the last year or so and love them for many different reasons. My new Newtons came in last week so I am expecting my tired legs to start feeling fresh any day now.
On a separate note I've noticed a lot of excuses in today's society. I see it everywhere, in the news, sports, social media, the list goes on. Today when I was running I was tired and thought more about hitting the red stop button on the treadmill almost as many times as my feet hit the belt, but I didn't. I try to live my life the best I can without regret and most importantly without excuses. To me excuses are an easy cop out. But I have found myself thinking lately about why so many people make excuses. Is it because it's the easy way out? And I also find that most of the time there is no legitimacy behind an excuse.
To me life without excuses is fresh, free, and unassuming. It's easy.
"He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else." - Benjamin Franklin
