Oh, my poor sad running shoes didn’t get an outing this weekend! Darn you assignments!! I did have some good workouts during the week though, so I’m not going to feel too guilty, I’ll just have to make up for it this coming week 🙂
I think on the bottom of mine I might write: ‘This Princess wears running shoes’, or ‘My glass slippers are faster than yours’.
Inside my shoes I might have to write something like ‘Cupcake blasters’ or ‘Keep those thighs looking good’. If I’m lacking in the motivation department, I re-read my favourite runner goddesses blogs (I’m looking at you Miss Cait) or I have a motivational postcard on my wall that says ‘I lose my breath, I find my answers.’ That usually works 🙂
oh my, YES, let’s both get some cupcake soled-inspired shoes!! hehe. only so long as YOU’RE the one baking the reward. 🙂
hey, at least u were able to bust out those assignments and epitomize productivity…how is that book and writing of yours coming, missy?? u can’t get TOO smart on me with all that university though, i don’t know if i’ll be able to keep pace and you may bore of my dorky humor. 😛 hehehe
On the bottom of my spikes, I would have written something lame, like ‘eat my dust’ or ‘eat my track’ just to make the person behind me confused. Or ‘Chick Ya!’.
He he I love the idea! Mine would be a corny “you complete me” or my classic #jfdi 😉
I’m like Amy if I need motivation I open up my favourite blogs or twitter and then I’m busting to to run. I am so motivated by reading about running… I get restless feet :=)
“You’re not getting your money’s worth”
Since my running shoes cost more than my work or dressy shoes 🙂
If I’m having trouble motivating myself first I try and think of running as a privilege that I get to go out and run. If that doesn’t work, I think of my upcoming races/goals and that usually works 🙂

Once it’s done, you can stop worrying about it.
Not very catchy, but definitely very true!
Also…if someone is doing their workouts…their heels should scratch out the old writing automatically! Just adjust and re-write every 2 weeks! 🙂
hahaha…i like that line, so true. 🙂
“Put me on and run, you won’t regret it”
And I never do!
never had a run i’ve regretted. 🙂

haha…good point, with the cost of shoes these days THAT is enough incentive to get moving. 🙂 #walletguilt
