Tramps Like Us, Baby We Were Born to Run

Why I like running:

1. It's a break in the middle of the workday.
2. I love the smell of sunscreen in the morning.
3. My lungs feel amazingly clear lately, and I can see the inches melting off my mid-section
4. I can catch up on podcasts.
5. It's a thrill to run under planes as they land at the Buffalo-Niagara Airport a few hundred yards away.
6. Human beings were meant to be outside in the sun, not hiding in a cave staring at screen turning on and off 70 times a second.
7. It's an excuse for me to forego the non-fat salad dressing, diet soda, and the like. "I ran today, I can eat what I want."
8. A little sweat never hurt anyone. Neither did a lot of sweat.
9. I crave a little alone time in my day to order my thoughts.
10. Clif bars taste awesome, especially the carrot cake flavor.

Why I hate running:
1. I loathe the actual running part of running.
