TOP 5 EXCUSES from running or lifting weights

It's all about love yesterday but since we'd like to live up to our blog I.D. we'll go against the flow just like your usual crazy duo.

We'll talk about the things we do not necessarily hate but we don't love as much as one of us does.

I love running. If my body permits, you can leave me anywhere and I'd be happy as long as I'm running. Tricia, on the other hand, loves running too but just enough love, unlike mine which is bordering on obsession, almost the kind of love she has for lifting weights, something I don't always like to do :)

As we mentioned in the intro of this blog, one of the things that makes our site exciting is our many differences. For instance, she has a very strong upper body as a swimmer and I have a stronger lower body as a runner. We are aware that there should be balance that's why we motivate each other to do other work out.

So our daily argument, I mean, conversation would be: I'd invite her to run, she'd motivate me to lift and once in a while we'd try to trick each other so we could open the back door and escape from each other's nagging and still end up in peace after.

Trick is the operative word. hihihi.. ;)

That's what we'd like to share with you in this post with the hope that you'd find it funny as we did when we were drafting this even if they annoyed us during the actual scene.

Note: This does not fall under the "Tips Category" but more under "JUST FOR FUN."


OUR TOP FIVE EXCUSES


Tricia's 


1. Antok ako. Pagod ako. Mas importante ang tulog. Zzzzz...
R: She asks for her precious five minutes for at least three times and then the last one would be a conclusive statement: "tulog na lang ako, ikaw na lang tumakbo. see you later." Tsk!


2. Tumakbo na tayo kahapon, bukas naman, kailangan magpahinga.
R: If this did not work, she'd say: "Diba rest is part of training?" And I'd usually say... "sa bagay."


3. Kailangan ko pumasok ng maaga sa office. Mamaya na lang.. tapos, will work late para di makatakbo.
R: This promise has been fulfilled only in one out of ten cases.




4. Masakit paa ko. Masakit tuhod ko.
R: Nangangati sya, masakit ulo nya, likod, kamay, bangs.. lahat! Haaayy..


5. Umuulan... magkakasakit ako. The weather is so conducive for sleeping. Sabay balik sa tulog.
R: I'd say: "And a perfect weather for a run too." That "ulan" sometimes is just a sprinkle. I felt so fulfilled even if we've not run yet every time I successfully pulled her out of bed when the weather was overcast or it's drizzling.

And if all else fails.. she'd go the galit galitan/ taray route.






Rey's 


1. Masakit likod ko. My scoliosis is acting up. That's bad for my back.
T:  To which I'd reply, "that's why you need to strengthen your back."


2. I'm tired from yesterday's run/ RPM kanina.

T: Akala ko ba gusto mo lumakas?  CROSS-TRAIN.


3. Treadmill na lang ako, mas happy. I need mileage.
T: Puro ka cardio, kailangan mo mag strength train. And when she wouldn't budge, "bahala ka dyan, bugbugin mo ng todo yung tuhod mo."




4. Sige! game! Sabay tayo! Then.. I always finish the routine first and she'd be surprised.
T: Ay bahala ka dyan....


5. I'd go with her in the free weights area. I'd get paraphernalia, do some sets and then.. chika..chika..chika..
T: walk-out na ako sa kanya. hahahaha

And if all fails, I'd do the hypothyroid route. Tsk..tsk..


Most of the time, we end up doing what we need to do- Tricia runs, I lift weights :)
