Excuse to work on my running

Not only is it an excuse to work on my running, being motivated by hearing peoples race stories and thoughts on running, but who also doesn't like a good discount on running gear? I do! Yep, because I'm a part of the Brooks ID running program.

"Brooks I.D. athletes members use their athletic talent to help carry out the Brooks mission: To inspire people to run and be active. We look for athletes who have a passion for Brooks, race and train in Brooks’ shoes and apparel, and enthusiastically evangelize the brand." (Inspired Daily. Get it?)

I thought maybe this group would be beneficial for me to get more inspired to run and ENJOY running. I'll let you know how that goes. But, my 40% discount on my Adrenaline GTS shoes is absolutely awesome! (I can always do another order...free shipping for orders over $125!)

I've also got chosen to attend their first-ever I.D. camp in June outside of Seattle - which I've never been to. I haven't brought this up to hubby yet, but it would be a great excuse for us to take a trip up there as his company is based there and he can show me around, and maybe even a day trip to Vancouver?! I wouldn't mind getting out of the Dallas heat by then anyways...

As for my running - it's stalled this week, though I did do some more elliptical on Wednesday (gag). I swear I get more prone to injuries on the elliptical and treadmill than running out doors. What gives?? I guess my legs know when I'm outside or not! :)

So, here's to inspiration. Inspiration to put your running shoes on and get out the door. Inspiration to make it through another harried day or inspiration stop and smell the roses.

What's your inspiration?
