Me? Mainly because it was on the schedule but also because of my boss. He is a TOOL...a complete *kitten*, misogynistic (spell check please) tool.

So I got out of work late (again), drove home, threw on my running gear, got mad about the lack of iPod and went for a run. And it worked. I ran him into the pavement, into the road, into the bridge, into the little alleyway I found and back up my street.

So yes...it works for me!

    Because I want hot legs. Yeah, that's why. Oh, and I have a 5, 4, and 2 year old. They drive me insane, and I need my endorphins released. Without running (daily) I'd be a ****ty mom.

    Because I can!

    haha, I always loved that saying :)

    I haven't been able to run as much lately due to a muscle that I pulled in my back. So...now that it is better I am so happy to be able to run again. Nothing makes you appreciate running until you cant.

    Because I am training for a half marathon and if I don't get out for a run I am the most antsy person you will ever meet! This week has to be a cut back week due to wear on the sneakers though and I am going nuts waiting for next payday to come so I can get new ones!!

    Because I want to be a runner and I would have felt bad if I had just walked. It's hot in here in Texas, but you gotta do what you gotta do to get where you wanna be!!

    I'm not a morning person but I get up everyday at 5:30 to run...because I can! Oh, and because I'm training for a 15K (short term) and a 1/2 marathon (long term).

    because I can
    because that is what I need to do to stay sane
    because there NO better way to start the day (ok, one better way I can think of)

    i ran this morning (5:50 am) because:

    1. It's the only time I can without trouble from my fam.
    2. I feel so much better when i do and have more energy for the day
    3. I want to reach my goal of running a 1/2 marathon on Oct 9th
    4. to defy my crappy husband
    5. because i want to look hot and sexy
    6. because running is much cheaper than a gym membership and I can control the hours :)

    I haven't done it yet, but I will tonight when I get home from work & errands.

    I run because not only is it something I never thought I would start doing at age 40, but also because I like it.

    Just like you, it frees my mind, lessens my anxiety, and provides me with an escape from my problems.

    Oh, and because it helps me lose weight and I want to run a 5K, but nothing scheduled yet.

    Well I started out walking, but then I saw this yummy chocolate brownie floating in front of me. I tried to catch it but it kept just out of my reach, speeding up so I had to run. I ended up running/walking for 50 min. Never did catch the brownie. :(

    Really- it's because if I don't, then I won't the next time. I know myself and if I break this early I'll stop. I've got a 5k to run in October and I'd better be ready for it!

    I have no desire to Run, although I totally get why some people do LOVE it. But "Because I Can" is why I Walk, Why I take the Stairs instead of the Elevator, and why I Park as far as possible from the Store. Because not too long ago I COULDN'T do those things.
