UGH. I torture myself with this daily but I don't love it. I like it once or twice a week. The other days I either completely despise it or hate it.

This is where I (and the rest of Seattle) run(s) when the weather is nice. Just went yesterday.

Asthma does suck! I used to jog quite a bit and my times never improved and I could only go so fast or else it would trigger an attack. I use an elliptical at home now to stay in shape.

I like being active without really "exercising". Aside from yoga, I like to walk and ride my bike an otherwise stay up and about. I have gotten into running for brief periods and won't say I'll never do it again, but the moment something feels like punishment I'm out.

Running is bad for the knees yo.

Get an elliptical.

My knees hurt when I even think about it.

Yeah :/ I have an elliptical at home so I guess I could start using it in my spare time. I know my mom does a lot, because of a recent back injury.

Oh, I love running. I picked it up a couple years ago. It's freeing. I love the sense of accomplishment. I run almost everyday now 3-5 miles.

Former cross country runner, and still running long distances for exercise and peace of mind.

Falcarius runs about 40KM or so a week. He use as a kind of mindfulness; focusing on their breathing, movement sequence, and the environment rather than life problems.

His training is completely erratic though if he does not have a race booked as his motivation just goes. He starts to do silly things doing most of his training in the middle of the night and his pace is either ridiculously slow or ridiculously fast. Since joining a couple of running groups earlier this year, he has become more consistent but it has yet to really help his race times. :mellow:

Late to the running game, relatively speaking -- I know people who started running in high school track and field and still do it, whereas I'm 24 and just starting now -- but I really like running so far. I like the exploring part of running outdoors, I like enjoying the fresh air, I like "getting in the zone". I LOVE the feeling of getting my second wind (which I experienced for the first time about a month ago).

I've been trying to actually get into running -- as in, more than once a week or every other week -- now that the weather is nicer. But the problem I've been having is that every time I've gone running in the past, it's been because I had a sudden irresistible craving for running, so without that craving I'm totally unmotivated. I figure the craving will become more consistent, the more I do it. But it's been hard so far. :/

I like running but I hate it when people stare at me because I am a bit fat.

Run with me, run for me, run for YOU! I love running. I love stretching before I run, I love showering after I run, and I love prodding blisters.

What do you think about running?

I enjoy showers...does that count?

I've been running for six months or so. I have a love-hate relationship with it. Ultimately I love it--it's a release, and it helps me manage my moods. The hatred is really more of making the decision to run. Getting out the door is most of it, in my opinion.

I would never go out for cross country or track--or any team sport, for that matter. Exercising is my alone time (occasionally I go with my sister). Also, I'm god-awful at it. When you look out and see the joggers, don't assume that we're all athletic. ;)

Ill run my mouth! My feet though... They look like those little string puppet things, they get all tangled and disjointed and yeah its just better for humanity for me not to. I dont think that their lungs could handle the intence influx of laughter, they would probably explode.

The best part about running is the outdoor, I love running in the wild. Unfortunately I can not afford it right now as I am stuck in an urban area and the best I can get is a park :dry:
