    I run because I love it, but also because I love to eat lots of food and have a bottomless pit of a stomach. :smile:

    1) for the sense of accomplishment. This is why I don't run on treadmills because I feel like I'm not going anywhere... but knowing "i ran through my entire neighborhood twice" feels pretty good.
    2) I run so I don't feel guilty eating a popsicle after dinner
    3) to shed the pounds faster
    4) its literally the only quiet time I get to myself where I don't have to deal with LIFE.

    these colors don't run!!

    I lift heavy. when I need cardio, I lift faster!

    OK, throw in some burpees, double unders, box jumps, or a good hero WOD, and I get all the cardio I need.

    Enjoyment.

    Fantastic company....I have two good friends who I run with so we can chat, support and motivate

    Nothing beats the fresh air and the changing countryside through the seasons...I live in Salisbury UK and we are minutes from beautiful countryside :-)

    I don't run for anything. I run from death.


    ok runners high and the ability to devour any gay pastries that come my way.

    I run so I will be fast enough to catch up with The Doctor when I hear the Tardis landing.

    I’ve just started running probably a month or 2 ago and I’m really loving it! I never thought I would ever say that. I run because: I like it, AND it lets me eat more! :)
