I've been thinking a lot about how much has changed and how my priorities are different since I've started running.
Before running I spent my extra money on clothes, jewelry, pedis and other materialistic crap. I didn't monitor my water intake, I tried to stay away from carbs and I wasn't as nearly obsessed with peanut butter. Before running I thoroughly enjoyed sleeping in on Saturday mornings.
Since I started running all my extra money goes to races, running clothes, running electronics, etc. Now I obsess about my water consumption, I carbo load and I could care less about how cute my toes look, just as long as they are kept short. I visit the chiropractor now instead of the day spa next door and I am constantly researching running clothes online. Since I started running I am excited to wake up on Saturday mornings at the butt crack of dawn to run for several hours straight.
It's crazy how our priorities change, but I love running and I'm pleased with the changes I have made because of it.
