5 Reasons Runners Make Better Lovers

by

I’m having a little fun with the Friday Five today with a “tongue & cheek” Valentine’s Post. We all know how great running is for your physical and mental health so I am giving you a few more reasons running can improve your love life.

Runners, Lovers, Valentine's Day

 

1. We like to get our Heart Rate up-    

Runners will use any excuse to get their Heart Rates up and often have our Heart Rate Monitors/Watches on all day long. It’s probably super easy to convince us to get a little extra cardio & a healthy glow.

2. We like to mix it up-

Sometimes we like to go long and slow and sometimes we like short and fast.

3. We don’t mind who finishes first

Who am I kidding? Yes we do!

4. We always have some Body Glide lying around

Enough said on that one!

5. Flowers who needs them?

What really makes our hearts skip a beat is the thought of carbs, new shoes and race entries.

I crowd sourced this with my  MRTT mamas & want to thank them for all of their help and amusing takes on the subject.

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone! Hope your day is full of PR’s (and chocolate)

Have anything to add to my list? Any big Valentine’s Plans?

Meet Deborah

Hi I'm Deborah! I spend my days successfully raising a husband & 2 teens in the VA/DC area. I am a lover of all things running & fitness. As a life long vegetarian, I've always been passionate about healthy living & exercise. Looking for partners in crime, I started my own chapter of Moms Run This Town (MRTT) which has grown to over 700 members. I've met so many amazing women who inspire me daily to keep moving forward. You can usually find me running with my crew and training for the next crazy adventure they talked me into. I love to keep up to date on new running & fitness trends. I definitely choose my running gear based on color and love to express my fashion sense while exercising.

    This is so great, Deborah!! Oh, we definitely care who finishes first at my house, but it’s all in good fun (mostly – ha!). Don’t you think we’re the easiest people to buy for, too? I told Courtney that I’m always telling my husband he should be so thankful I’m a runner; endless gift-giving possibilities! Thanks so much for a great post; hope you have a wonderful Valentine’s Day weekend!

    Love number 5! It’s so true! I got a nice mountain bike ride with my hubby and that’s how we celebrated. Nothing fancy but oh so enjoyable! Cute post!
