Any self-proclaimed runner is going to proclaim that they LOVE running. We live for the run! Right? Well, I’m here to call some of you out on that.
I myself love to run. I have ran 11 half marathons and numerous shorter distances ranging from the 5K-15K. I have finished many, many runs and excitedly admitted, “That was awesome!” or “That was fun!” But I must confess, if I was a little beanpole I firmly believe I would not be putting in the miles quite like I do now and I’d probably eat cinnamon rolls on a regular basis. But such is life, and since I must exercise, running is my vice.
And speaking of cinnamon rolls, how many miles must I run to burn them off? I find that a lot of people eat “bad foods” (a phrase I don’t care to use, but for the frame of reference, must) and they counter with, “I’ll run it off!” In fact, it should be the other way around. Before you eat something sinful and practically perfect in every way (less the calories) we should instead think, “How many miles would I have to run to burn this off?”
