Run for Your Life!

It was suggested I expand some of the topics covered in this blog, so why not?  I will still keep it pretty relevant to the dating topic though so please don't think I'm switching it up to a political platform or anything off the wall.

Last weekend, I ran my first marathon with a very good friend of mine. Sore muscles, creaky joints and knees feeling older than they really are, we still finished with smiles on our faces. I highly suggest if you are considering to start running, even a 5k, to take a friend or a 4 legged buddy along with you, accountability will keep you motivated.

Speaking of motivation, my first big run in 2010 I had the idea to put my name on my shirt so incase I'd hit a wall and I heard a stranger yell "Go Sarah!" it'd push me to keep going. Honestly, the trick worked like a charm and it got me thinking, why stop at just my name on my shirt? Last Sunday, I was running on behalf of a sorority Sisters' step-mom that had passed away last summer from cancer and put a sign on my back "Running for Connie" and there were runners who noticed and commented (as they zoomed past me).

For me, enough is never enough and if I was able to educate just on my shirt alone my name and who I was running for, why not spice it up a little? Like minded people tend to get along better than opposites and I'm thinking this is a great way to meet men!  Why not on the next full or 1/2 marathon put on the back of my shirt "Single and Looking"?  What better way to meet a hot, fit, sexy man glistening with sweat in the Arizona sunshine, muscles flexed...ok, sorry...had to take a minute there.

If you're crazy enough to run a marathon (I'm already training for my next one) then wouldn't it make sense to pick up some man-meat on the course? Bigger picture, you both see each other at your sweaty worst and if you're not scared away by mile 14, then think what a shower and fresh clothes will do!

It was an honor to run for Connie and I'd do it again in a heartbeat because thats Sisterhood, but I might try the next run with "Fun, Single and Looking" just to test out this theory. Couldn't hurt right? Got a better slogan, let me know :)
