After that last post, I am ready to find some rewards for my running that are low in calories, and have 0% fat! And that are also very cheap! Here’s mine, what are yours?
- Pedi
This is a no-brainer, because our feet are pounding the pavement for us, carrying us around and putting up with our neglect day after day…oh yeah I love to reward my feet and toes with a pedicure!
I do my own, but there’s some great nail salons in town; if only I trusted those little Asian women with my toes! Muwaha..
- Bubble bath
Mmmmhmmm, you know you want it; and don’t be afraid to have a glass of sparkling water with a twist of lime while you’re at it.
And yes a dunk in the hot tub works too!
(However, if you want to add a few more calories, you could try a glass of wine!)
- Online inspiration
If you want to glean some inspiration from other runners, drag out the laptop, pour yourself a cup of coffee and read these awesome blogs:
stuffmyrunnerloves.com
Iowa Girl Eats (mostly a recipe blog, but also a lot of good workouts are listed on one of her pages)
Runner Girl Training
- A good movie
Not necessarily a movie about running or sports, although those are good too.
Also, don’t forget the popcorn without butter (remember, these are low fat rewards!
- Hop on Facebook and Twitter and brag about your run or event; the feedback will make you feel really good, and maybe you’ll inspire someone to get out and exercise (then show them this post!)
I love to see what my runner (and non-runner!) friends say when I post a run; the feedback really motivates me.
These are some of the comments I got when I ran an eight-miler:
“Go Emily!”
“Wow! Good job!”
“All I have to say girl is your amazing!”
Now go out and enjoy some 0 calorie, 0% fat rewards; you earned them!
