    To burn calories so I can eat more food!

    This....and because I don't have the patience to walk. I want to go a certain distance and be DONE.

    It's cheaper than using a treadmill.
    I love food.

    -I like having a healthy cardiovascular system
    -I like having a low resting heart rate
    -I like burning 14-18 calories per minute
    -When I am in shape to run long distances, I am in shape to do everything else
    -I like exercising outside
    -I like running shoes, running socks, compression sleeves, running sunglasses, dry-fit tech fiber shorts and shirts, smart phone running apps, heart rate monitors with Bluetooth capabilities, music playlists, and headphones
    -I like the feeling of lining up in the middle of thousands of people a few minutes before a race starts
    -I like being labeled as a "runner", because they are generally a great group of people
    -Running and waddling are mutually exclusive tendencies.
    Yep, this about covers why. Ohhh and I'm a medal *kitten*

    Ok, "Medal *kitten*" actually made me LOL:laugh:

    Because after swimming and biking, it's the only thing left I have to do to get to the free beer and food. I like free beer and food.

    1.) As previously stated, definitely more food
    2.) I like to let my heart pump
    3.) I'm predisposed to heart disease and obesity, as it runs in my family (lol "runs"...but they don't)
    4.)I like to see people's jaws drop when I tell them I'm a distance runner
    5.) Booty

    It's faster than going to the gym
    Runner's legs
    I want to be healthy
    To know what I'm capable of
    To improve

    1. It orders my thoughts, provides an outlet for stress, and keeps my resting HR low
    2. It’s something I never thought I could do
    3. The runners I’ve met here and IRL are awesome, happy people…my kind of people : )
    4. I feel strong, capable, and invincible
    5. Awesome legs and bum. Leaner frame. Strong core.
    6. Race swag
    7. I get a kick out of competing against myself
