From yesterday’s short run – 10,9km & strength training

Happy Monday, everyone! I hope you are all good and enjoying the new season (I love Autumn!). I for one am still on vacation – two more days to go. Yay! 🙂

Thank you AGAIN for sharing the love with me (and please keep sharing it as I absolutely love all your messages!).

Ionut – “Always waiting next Monday for your fresh and inspirational messages. Thanks and keep running & posting.”

Michelle – “Yes, yes, yes to your motivational articles. Mersi, Cris!”

Phillip – “Hey Cris, its Sunday but your Running motivation saved my day. Thanks a lot!”

Anna – “I already went twice running and I felt so good. Really thank you for your posts, Cris. You rock!”

Anne – “You are the motivation I need to hang in there with my running.”

By the way, how is your “running process” going on? Are you loving it? Because I really hope you’re also running for fun. The Portuguese have this proverb that I absolutely love – “Quem corre porgosto, não cansa”, which means that “Who runs for pleasure, never tires”.

One of my fav running paths from Düsseldorf, Germany

Today I give you another piece of my mind – When people make FUN of you (because you go running), let them make fun and imagine that the pavement is their face. Stomp hard, laugh harder and continue to have fun while running.

It feels so DAMN good!

And NEVER forget that you’re the winner because you are going to:

1. Visit the doctor less
2. Save some cash
3. Make new friends
4. Eat MORE carbs (pasta party!)
5. Boost memory
6. Get a natural glow
7. Improve self-esteem
8. Look younger
9. Keep high blood pressure at bay
10. Sleep better

Meet Marie who sent me this picture last Monday! 🙂

Now off running & be happy!
