My Lovely Wife saw this shirt in the store and had me take a picture. The saying isn’t new, but I like the “perspective” that the picture gives. Look at the NO!
In my life I am trying to make excuses rare, especially where running is concerned.
- I am not giving into weather.
- I’m not giving into pain (normal pain).
- I’m not giving into my head telling me to stop.
- I’m not giving into a difficult day.
I know that there are people “out there” that have a much harder life, more pain, harsher weather, overall difficulties that I am blessed at the moment not to have. I am healthy. I am running. I am eating. I am sleeping inside. I have a home, a family, a car, a Lovely Wife and great kids.
NO. I am going to make excuses a thing of the past. I may run till I drop, but I will make my goal. If I have to crawl, I will make my goal.
Running is cheap. It is simple. My time outside isn’t that much fun, but I have to do it and I have to run and I have to run outside. This is my life.
I honestly don’t know if I will make it to Boston or not. Sometimes I wish I didn’t create the URL 278toBoston.com. It seems to mock me sometimes. I run 4 miles at a 10:00 pace? That isn’t getting me anywhere.
But no excuses. I will get there, I will keep going. I will put on my running shoes everyday. I will go out of the house and RUN.
Boston or Bama. Whatever.
NO EXCUSES
JUST DO IT
278 to Boston 
LOVE this!!!
Thanks!
Keep dreaming of going to Boston!!! Enjoy the journey as you make your way. You seem like the type who will get there…. 🙂

Ok. I feel like crap now for dogging it all week. Thanks for your dedication and your post. I’ll be running first thing in the morning.
Of course. Anytime. Are you going to run the Red Shoe Run?
I know you WILL make it to Boston, there is no other way to think about it! 🙂
Thank you!!! Lord willing I’ll get there one way or another. 🙂
Exactly! Did the phone # help?
Well after I got the reply saying to check twitter, it started working again. I’m keeping it for future reference! Thank you. 🙂
Oh okay good! 🙂
