Why We Should NOT Run


At some point, every runner gets unsolicited advice from step-aerobic and Zumba girls of why running is bad for you. (Sorry to my step-aerobic and Zumba peeps. You know I love ya!)

Here’s a brief list of what I’ve been told as to why I should not run:

· It’s hard on your body

· You don’t lose any more weight that walking—step aerobics and Zumba are far superior!

· Your heart rate gets too high

· Why waist precious hours in the elements when you could be cozy in your bed?

· It’s bad on your joints

· It’s bad for your back

· It’s bad for your knees

· It’s bad for your butt

And my personal favorite—sage advice from my very own mother:

· YOUR BOOBS AND YOUR FACE WILL SAG!!!

Perhaps the facebra isn’t such a bad invention after all. If runners are so crazy to wreck up their boobs, their butt and their jaw-line, why not be all-the-way crazy and run in one of these?!?!?

Today’s Run: 48 minutes/3:1’s. Flat and fast. Finished 1 minute faster than Saturday! Whoo Hoo!

  2. Hey Kimberley! I found you again on a new blog! YEAH! I was looking through my old posts for something and then saw your name and thought I'd see if Hokey Pokey Life was up and running again ( no pun intended!) looking forward to reading your new blog! Happy running!

  3. Hi there Kimberly!
    My blog disappeared for a couple of years, I thought it was lost in cyberspace! My mom, on a whim, decided to see if it was back again the other day, and there it was. I can't access it butI was able to look at the comments and the links worked. I have a new blog now, have not been nearly as faithful to it as in 'the day'. Sure was nice to see your link work, even though it looks like you are just as good at blogging lately as I am...lol! Maybe you'll see this some day.
    Love ya!
