Make No Mistake

I've recently been asked by two people "why do you enjoy running?"

My reply - "I don't really."

I don't really enjoy running or exercising at all for that matter. I run for these reasons:

1) I can, and someday I won't be able to
2) I like the way it feels when I stop
3) I'd rather be outside running than inside a gym
4) Sometimes I need to just run out my frustration
5) Endorphins are a mental and physical trip
6) Nature

Hey, maybe I do enjoy running. Nah... just ask my friend Francine...I complained the entire last 4 miles we ran together the other day. I think I said things like "can we stop now?", "I think I'm dying", "I can't make it any further", "this sucks"...and she just kept running and so I had to keep up with her.

Sounds like you need a real good, filling meal where you savor each and every morsel, esppecially dessert...you can work off more pounds eating a a great restaurant than you can running - I think it really depends on the place, the food and the atmosphere...

Running makes me cry. And I need to get back to it. I just hope new shoes will make my knees not take a hit out on me. ; )

i know that feeling, wanting to stop so bad i have to plead with my body to just keep going. and it really does help to have someone in front of you who just doesn't stop running :)

I admire the fact that you do it anyway. I'm not that strong willed! I'm also not that skinny. ;o)
