Excuses

     Hey guys! So for Fathers' Day, my dad got a nice pair of running shoes, but he said he hated them! He jokingly said he hates them, because before he had new shoes, he could say "I ran really slow today, but it's just these old shoes" or "oh, I would go running, but my shoes are really old and I don't want to hurt my back" or "I went running yesterday and now I'm really sore, but that has nothing to do with the fact that I'm 42, it's just my shoes!"

I think you've already guessed the common thread in all of these "examples": the shoes (or better known as his excuse to be lazy all day). You know where I'm going with this kind of thing -we find excuses to not do things we don't want to do. So basically, don't put off what you know you have to do anyway, even if it's running instead of watching TV and eating ice cream all day!
