We are constantly inundated with excuses to NOT run. So, let's inundate ourselves with excuses TO RUN! In honor of episode 50 (and 51) I'm dropping a whole bunch of excuses to run. And by a whole bunch I mean 50 excuses! That's so many excuses that I needed to break this into two different episodes. And I tried my best to be efficient. 50 excuses is just too many excuses for one episode. So, sit back and maybe even write a few of these down or write them all down.
