    I hate running. I don't feel any need to MAKE myself like it, either.

    Ever wonder what an eagle feels like as it is swooping down from the sky?
    Ever see a deer bolt into the woods through trees so thick you didn't even think there was a gap?
    Ever see a lion take down a gazelle?

    That's what running feels like.

    I want to like it, but I end up uncoordinated and out of breathe :( Even when I try to pace myself I can only run very very short distances and it takes me longer than I was running to catch my breath and quit feeling like I have sharp pains in my sides.

    I can go full out insanity or p90x and kick some booty!!! I can't run for 5 minutes :(

    That's me ^^^

    And me!

    ...ever see a manatee laying in the sun?
    ...ever see a sloth resting in the brush?
    ...ever see a hog wallowing in slop?

    This is why I run!

    I hate it because I can feel my *kitten* jiggling up and down. I'm shaped a bit like Kim Kardashian - I have a big *kitten*, and running gear is not flattering!

    ^ I loathe running. I lift and I do HIIT with sprints (which I don't mind because its running for 20 secs).

    I would love to love running... but having been overweight my entire life, and asthmatic as a child... it's something I've never been able to do. I've actually had dreams where I can effortlessly run like the wind... but it's never happened. Maybe someday... but now with bursitis and morton's neuroma in my right foot, I don't know if I'll ever be able to handle the impact of it, even at goal weight. boo

    Me Me Me!!!!!! Can't stand running/jogging...no fun, boring, hurts my feet and knees, no desire to do it, idc about marathons, etc.!!! I'll do just about anything else, but that. I'd rather walk and take in the scenery and be nosy looking at neighbor's landscaping, than run. Or I'd rather dance, or do Zumba, or a million other more fun things!

    I enjoy brisk walking. You don't have to run ;) Unless someone is chasing you...:laugh: :laugh:

    As a great comedian once said, "It's always the runners getting killed on the crime shows... They don't have the energy left to run away." :laugh: :laugh:

    I absolutely loathe running. I get 10 steps and I'm bored and hating it.

    Like so many others, I need a reason to run--I used to play a lot of soccer and loved it. Now, I play ice hockey and ice skate, which is great exercise.

    My latest epiphany is that meeting a friend at her apartment complex's workout room is one of the best ways to exercise. We get to see each other and talk and laugh, and since we're on separate elliptical trainers, I can go at my own speed and she can go at hers! I really enjoy this (and the workout room has really nice ellipticals).

    I went looking for a Cto5K-type of swimming program once, but didn't find anything as good. And I think "Zombies, Run!" would actually be fun, but I don't own an iPhone.

    I have always loathed running even when I could. I was never good at it, I don't know but it may have had something to do with the braces I had to wear on my legs when I was young. My gym teacher (who followed me from middle school to high school) was always disappointed with my running. She thought with my long legs I would be a natural runner and/or basketball player.

    Well I mostly loathe it because I can't do it very well. When in fitter times I liked it more.

    I dont like it either but i have to run to keep my job so, I force myself to do it. But the feeling of finishing the 1.5miles in time or doing a 5k is amazing because I completed something really hard for me and even though I don't "like" running I like winning (even if it just the battle against my mind).

    I hate running without a purpose - I played soccer/basketball/softball all of my younger years - running to a GOAL, to get a ball, back a basket, running bases - etc.. I can do without a problem.. I just cant get on a treadmill and run a few miles SO BORING.

    With that being said - because I no longer play sports.. I do HITT running outside, when the weather is good.

    ^^^ This. i hate running just for running sake. Maybe try taking up a sport you can do it as part of...
