"I'm too beat. I'm too slow. Too big. I ate too much for breakfast. I got a headache. It's raining. My dog is sick. I can't right now. I'm not inspired. It makes me smell bad.
I'm allergic to stuff. I'm fat. I'm thin. It's too hot. I'm not right. I've got shin splits. A Headache. I'm distracted. I'm exerting myself too much. I'd love to really but I can't, I just can't. My favorite show is on.
I've got a case of the Mondays. The Tuesdays. The Wednesdays. I don't want to do this; I want to do something else. After New Years. Next week. I might make a mistake. I got home and I feel bloated. I have gas.
I got a hot date. My coach hates me. My mom won't let me. I bruise easily. It's too dark. It's too cold. My blister hurts. This is dangerous. Ahhh sorry, I don't have a bike. I didn't get enough sleep. My tummy hurts. It's not in my genes. I don't want to look all tired out. I need a better coach.
I don't like getting tackled. I have a stomach ache. I'm not the athletic type. I don't want to get sweaty. I have better things to do. I don't want to slow you down. Do I have to do this? As soon as I get a promotion. I think I'll sit this one out.
Man, my feet hurt."
