Top Ten

As I am getting ready to head out the door for day 42 this morning and going through my morning ritual; coffee, check email and messages, more coffee (the original energy drink), I notice I have received a message from my good friend and former team mate Phil. Phil, next to my wife, was my favorite room mate in college and has a very quick wit. Whenever you are with Phil, whether it be running, enjoying a hot cup of coffee or an ice cold dark brown beer, your sides are going to be sore from all the laughing that takes place! So here is my first guest contributor to this humble blog from my good buddy, bringing us the top ten reasons that running is better than sex!

The 10 Reasons Running Could Be Considered Better Than Sex.

10. You’re not breaking a commandment if you do it with your neighbor’s wife.
9. You don’t have to wait for everyone to leave the house to do it alone.
8. You can do it in public and not worry about getting arrested.
7. You don’t have to wear anything besides a pair of shorts to make it safe.
6. You can’t get pregnant doing it.
5. You can do it in a group and not feel weird.
4. You can do it even if your wife has a headache. In fact, it’s recommended.
3. When you get older, you don’t have to take a drug to get yourself up to do it. (Advil is an exception)
2. You don’t have to cuddle with anyone after you’re finished.
1. It’s a good thing to be quick.

I hope you enjoyed the top ten as much as I did! I literally spat out the coffee in my mouth when I read number 9.

As always, stay healthy, keep running and remember at our age, even though running can be better than sex, it is still good to indulge in this cross training activity! Just don't pull anything that would be embarrassing to explain to the doctor!
