Happy Friday before Valentine’s Day! I could not let this day go by without taking a look at my favorite Valentines-Runners. Of course there are so many reasons why runners are the best Valentines so let’s just take a look at a few of my top ones. Don’t worry I wont’ be getting all “Fifty Shades” on you but what if Anastasia was a runner? She would really be able to keep up with Mr. Gray then. Anyway…
Why Runners are the best Valentines
We like to get our Heart Rate up
We can always be convinced to do a little extra cardio especially when we are carbed up and tapering for a race.
We like to mix it up
Some days we like it “long and slow” and sometimes we just need a quickie “short and fast”.
We don’t care who finishes first
Well, who am I kidding of course we do!
We are always willing to try something new
We are so easy to shop for
Don’t worry about buying us flowers. What we really want are race entries, new shoes and running watches. And maybe some carbs or is that just me?!
So tell me…
Are you planning on seeing Fifty Shades this weekend? What do you really want for Valentine’s Day? Why do you think runners are the best Valentines?
Linking up today with:
Friday Five: Fairytales & Fitness and Running on Happy
FitnFashionable Friday with Nicole
This is great! I think as a runner I am really easy to shop for. My husband knows to just find something on Running Warehouse and chances are I will like it!
Exactly! Hope he does surprise you with something good
I agree. I think us runners are so easy to shop for. I plan on seeing the movie next wkend. So excited. I am refreshing my memory while reading the second book again.
Well you enjoy that book! Thought they were so much better than the movie. I like to leave something to the imagination
We’ll eat any dessert or dinner you put in front of us 😀
I am so picky about my desserts!! Must have chocolate
Yes, we’re REALLY easy to shop for! The Caveman got tix to see Hidden Figures so I guess there’ll be no 50 Shades for me.
Well you never know….
This is such a cute blog post! I’m not planning on seeing 50 Shades this weekend (not really my thing) and I don’t have any plans for the weekend.
I agree that runners are so easy to shop for – we always need something!
We sure do! I made my husband watch the first movie on demand and we both hated it lol. Books were way better!
And we’re always up for a “quickie”! As in a quick run around the ‘hood…
Thanks for the smile!
Sometimes that is just what you need!
How fun. Love this! No Fifty Shades for me this Vday. But YES to Runners being the best Valentine’s! 🙂
We sure are! have a great weekend
I will not be seeing 50 Shades…HA! I think for Valentine’s Day this year I would like to treat myself to something decadent and sweet and lots of kisses from my puppy. Keeping it simple!
decadent and sweet sounds perfect to me!
So much fun! Lol! Runners really are the best!
Absolutely! Have a great weekend
This is so cute! Love it! Happy Valentine’s Day!
Runners have stamina, that’s for sure!
Thanks you too!
Ha, that was funny! We runners really are easy to shop for 🙂 As far as movies this weekend, I’m sticking with Lego Batman.
ha ha enjoy!
This is great! I’m definitely going to have to share this with my running club! lol!
Ah thanks! Have a great weekend
Ahem! You went there! Talk about making someone laugh.
I actually enjoyed the whole trilogy but have yet to see either movie.
My husband never seems to buy me anything from my suggestions on the blog!
As to why runners make the best lovers, I’m drawing a blank. Although we might just fit into the whole BDSM thing (at least in non-runners’ minds).
ha perhaps we do! I did like reading the books but did not care much for the first movie. My husband does not ever read my blog so there’s that! Have a great Valentine’s Day
I will admit that I saw the first 50 shades movie, but I’m going to skip the next one…. one was enough for me….
I did like the book but the first movie was disappointing will probably skip it as well. Have a great weekend
This is fun and a little naughty …I love it! Yes, runners make great Valentine’s especially when your hubby is your BRF (like mine)!
Ah that’s so sweet!!
HAHA this is too cute and so true!
Thanks friend!
This is fun, and SOOO true! I’d much rather have a race entry (or new shoes…yes, it’s THAT time again) over other stuff.
Yes we are easy to please and predictable 🙂
Adorable list. really cute I will be sending this post to a runner friend!
Ah thanks for sharing! Have a great weekend
What I really want for V-Day is to be able to get my long run in without freezing my buns off 😛 I’m gonna skip all the romantic stuff 😉
Good luck I hope you get exactly what you’d like 🙂
Yes we runners are easy to shop for – I just pointed my husband towards the Skirt Sport site 😉
Smart!!
Hahaha, this is a hilarious — and TRUE! — list! Happy Val Day!
Right back at you!
You’re so clever; I love this!
Ah thanks friend!
Hilarious.
How about: Runners don’t mind if you fartlek. 🙂
Ha ha I love that! Next year
Haha, great post! Runner’s do Valentine’s Day better! 😀
We sure do!
Love this! I’m the easiest person to shop for, my guy could literally bring me any kind of fitness thing or clothing and I’d be over the moon… I’m hoping for a trigger point foam roller (pink!) and/or a nice black zip up nike jacket. But I also ask for an adorable local made ring haha Not seeing the movie, I really didn’t enjoy the books and thought the first movie was awful, I couldn’t even finish it 🙊
I felt the same about the movie. Hope you get everything on your list and have a lovely Valentine’s Day
Omg this is so cute haha! No I’m not planning on seeing it this weekend!! But I can only imagine how busy the theatres will be!
I bet yes!
I love this post! I didn’t see the first movie- some things are better left in my head 🙂 And you know we can go the distance- so yes we make the best Valentines!
I found the books amusing at times but yes some things are better left to the imagination for sure
50 Shades next weekend and I can’t wait. We’re definitely easy to shop for.
Have a great weekend Deborah!
Well I hope you enjoy it!
These little memes are hilarious, I love them! I think for Valentine’s Day, I’d love to just get out and do something with my hubby and get a sitter for the little one. We don’t get out just the two of us much these days, so time together is what I’m hoping for more than anything else!
When you have little ones it’s so important to have couple time. I hope you can work it out!
i’d totally be happy with someone paying for my race entry 😛
That would be nice indeed!
Super cute.
I’m going to see Lego Batman this weekend. I’ll probably watch 50 Shades when it comes out on cable, but I’m not paying theater prices for it LOL.
For Valentine’s Day, I get my entry into my 5th Space Coast Half Marathon. Super excited about that. 🙂
Runners are great Valentine’s because our hearts are always pumping and we are always up for something new!
Have fun at the movies it looks like a cute one! Glad you got into your half race too.
Haha what a fun post. And it’s true.. food and workout clothes are the way to my heart 🙂
Right there with you!
Fun post!
What I want for Valentine’s Day is to be able to run again!! I miss it so much! Darn injuries.
Hope you have a great day!
OH been there! Hang in there Esther and wishing you a speedy recovery
I won’t be seeing 50 Shades, but I’ll definitely be eating carbs 🙂
Right there with you! Enjoy 🙂
It is true that my wife is really easy to shop for. Just a rose and she will be happy all day. And I would say no to 50 shades. This movie is so not my type. I would rather to watch 50 First Dates.
I think runners def make the best Valentines. We are actually running a Valentine’s 5K today.
