I picked up a postcard on Saturday when I was at Niketown in Chicago. It was from the "Nike We Run Chi" running club. I love this . . .so will any of you who RUN.
WE'RE IN IT FOR THE HIGH. WE HIT THE ROAD. HARD.
WE RALLY. WE DON'T WALK. OR JOG. WE EAT WHATEVER
WE WANT. WE DRINK WHATEVER WE WANT. WE KICK
UP DUST. WE PUT OFF HOMEWORK TO RUN. WE OPENLY
MOCK TREADMILLS. WE DON'T NEED GYM MEMBERSHIPS.
WE ARE OUR OWN HEALTH CLUB. WE SHOW UP. ALWAYS.
WE MAKE THE POSTAL SERVICE LOOK UNRELIABLE. WE ARE
A WOLFPACK. WE CAN RUN AWAY FROM OUR PROBLEMS.
WE ARE CARB CONNOISSEURS. WE ARE A VENTI-CUP OF KICK-ASS.
WE ARE UP FOR ANY CHALLENGE. WE RACK UP SOME SERIOUS
MILES. WE RUN INTO THE BLACK. WE ONLY SMOKE WHEN WE RUN.
WE GO LONGER. AND HARDER. WE CAN PARK ANYWHERE. WE CAN
DELIVER IN 30 MINUTES OR LESS. WE NEVER WORRY ABOUT THE
FRESHMAN 15. WE PRONOUNCE "JOGGING" WITH A SOFT J. WE PRONOUNCE IT
"YOGGING." CABS ARE EXPENSIVE. CARS ARE OUR ENEMY. WE RUN CHI
I went to the Y and worked out tonight. I am going to run 4 tomorrow morning.
I am going to run 5 on Saturday. I am going to run 10 on Sunday.
I talked to my buddy who owns the running store. The new version of the shoes that I wear (Mizuno Nirvana) will be out in January. That is about when I will have "miled" out the shoes that I bought in mid-August. I need to start saving more nickels and dimes. For those of you "new" to my ramblngs, I pay for my shoes by saving my change each day. . . .makes me feel less guilty for buying $140 running shoes!
