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 LOVE IT.
Seriously, I cannot get enough. Unfortunately, my illiotibial band is giving me hell for running on uneven terrain so often, so it's been something of a struggle (a very, very frustrating one) to be able to run as often as I'd like.

I don't like running. But I like walking really fast. I get my stretching, showering and blister prodding fix from that. :)

I like running. From March-October, always prepared for right after work.

Love it, I wish I can do it more often without black spots appearing everywhere.
I tend to have to take it easy. Run for a few minutes, slowly jog or walk quickly for another few, repeat. I love it. Its such a rush.
Sometimes I dream about running, I wake up, and go out to do it.

I don't like how running feels on my knees. I'm a pretty good cyclist so I have great endurance, thus when I go running I tend to overdo it...(15-20 kms), which makes my joints unhappy.

:laugh: I hate it, but I understand its importance, so I respect it and what it does for my body (and my career.) Also, I will continue to prefer it other types of cardio until they make headphones I can swim with affordable.

I've never been good at running. I lose my breath after running just a couple of blocks. On the other hand I am a natural at walking. My favorite form of exercising is taking brisk walks, sometimes for several miles at a time.

Love it. Got my new pair of asics so I can train for all the summer road races around here! (And one for next November.)

I LOVE it, under one condition: no treadmills or indoor tracks.

Talk about feeling like a hamster. A very bored, irritated hamster.

I miss it. :(

I loved running, but running did not love me.

I developed back problems and eventually sciatica. I might get over them by this summer, but I'm not sure if I will be able to ever do any of the ultramarathons I once loved... at least not without a serious risk of injury.

I miss it, need to get back into it again soon.

In college, I ran/biked a duathlon, coming in at 15th place in my age group--out of 16 people that is. :wink:

I only enjoy running outside, preferably during a rain or snowstorm. I'd rather run on a cloudy day than a sunny one. Barefoot running was awesome--removing those weights called "shoes." The incredulous looks were great entertainment too. Running barefoot in the rain on wet asphalt is very soothing to the feet. Strangely, it starts to feel like very firm, wet beach sand.
