WFMW: Running, it’s good for you


wfmwbannerkristenIt’s Works for Me Wednesday at We are THAT Family, check out all the fun and this, is what works for me:

I love going outside and walking/running. It’s always so refreshing, sunny sky, cool breeze, gorgeous all around.

BUT…

that only last for like a month for me.

I live in Texas. Hot Humid Houston.

Me + Humid = hate each other Not Friends.

So thankfully, there’s always the gym.

The good ol’ treadmill!

Walking on the treadmill, easy-breezy. Running on a treadmill, scares the bananas outta me!

So I’ve decided to think of all the pros of being on a treadmill:

  1. The tempature is always comfortable in the gym
  2. There’s always a bathroom close by
  3. You can control the incline as much as you want {It’s flat here in Texas}
  4. There’s always someone pretending to workout to watch
  5. The treadmill has better shock absorption
  6. You don’t have to watch out for cars… or dogs
  7. You don’t have to carry your water bottle with you {or on you}
  8. There’s always someone running hardcore near you, it tends to make you try harder
  9. You won’t get dirt in your socks
  10. You can get totally lost in your thoughts whether you’re inside or outside. Nice.

There ya go. That’s my top ten list that I could come up with, not too shabby. :)

So tell me, do you prefer to workout inside or outside? Are you lucky enough to have fantastic weather all the time {you Californian’s you} or are you like me and can’t stand the hot weather?

P.S. Hop over to the Houston Wedding Planning Examiner Articles by Janice Thompson, to read an interview of me about our recent Wedding. :D
