So you may or may not have noticed but my last few training runs have been terrible ): It doesn’t help that I’m also fighting a cold alongside this so I’m writing this post today to give myself a reminder of why I run and why I should keep going and not give up.

Carmy’s Reasons to Run

To be able to have an excuse to “carb load” To have amazing looking legs To be able to outrun everyone if there’s ever an zombie take over To prove to myself that I can do it To have guilt-free “me” To have excuses in the future to travel “for the race!” To buy super cute running outfits To keep myself sane Because I gave up badminton To inspire others To have something to do other than studying and working Because Friday night clubbing isn’t my scene and Friday night tempos are To know that I can run more than 20k if I ever need to escape Toronto To explore the trails in Toronto that I never knew existed To be able to go everywhere in sweats or running clothes and not wear “real” clothes ;) Because running in the winter with a headlamp in the dark is kinda awesome Because I can To be happy

So why do you run? Does makes a list make you feel better when you’re down on your training?
