I really started to enjoy it when I started improving. It wasn't easier because I was still pushing but the same effort got me there faster. I started doing races and got a thrill out of beating my last time. That's what still motivates me.
That and when I got hurt (not from running from being hit by a car) and couldn't do it. All I wanted to do was go for a run on a sun y afternoon and couldn't.0 -
The day I was able to run 10k without stopping - which for me was about 8 months.0

Slow down, you might be running too fast.
I enjoy my runs the most when my husband gets to come with me, he's a sheriff and on an odd schedule. On those days, we try to run slow enough that we can talk the whole entire time.
I don't care if 4 miles takes me an hour when by myself I can do it in about 48, the chatting is nice. :happy:
There are some days when I'm by myself and I'll slow down so I feel better, just so I can look around.0 -
When it got me high.
I remember crying for no reason.
It was on a treadmill too. In my parents' garage on a cold, muggy day.0 -
Most people who hate running see it as just exercise and I don't blame them for feeling that way because there are other things you can do for exercise.
For me it's the therapeutic benefits. You can find out about yourself while running. You can go through an emotional cleansing while running. It's very powerful to me.0 -
I personally think you enjoy it or you don't...can't force the issue.0

Week 6 C25K, when I realized that I could do this. I still think that running on a treadmill sucks, but running outside is just great! So I walk on the mill, run outside.0

After my first outdoor 3 mile run. I felt such a rush afterwards it was incredible. I don't get that feeling on the treadmill so I can't wait for some nicer weather so I can get back outside.0
