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.
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?
Linking up with Courtney, Mar & Cynthia and Nicole
You’re HUH-larious! Thank you for sharing this – made me smile! 🙂
So glad! Thanks for stopping by and hope you get your heart rate up this weekend 🙂
Haha…fun cheeky post. Loving the shoe heart.

LOL!!!!! Loved this! Thanks so much for the smiles! Have a great weekend!
Thanks! Happy heart day hope you get your heart rate up this weekend 🙂
Love. Also–many people see underwear as optional 😉 (I’m not one of them, but I’m just saying)
Yeah sometimes you gotta go commando!
I used to go commando-now I need a diaper!
and sorry, but the phrase is tongue in cheek
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!
Yes endless possibilities for sure! Happy V Day to you too!
Haha! Yes, we certainly do like to get our heart rates up! My husband always refers to me as his “cardio.” LOL!
