  • My daughter runs and i don't want to slow her down by being the dad that tells his kid to "quit playing" or "come here". I prefer to encourage her active lifestyle

    aaaaaaand, it feels great when im done

    That poor lady needs a better bra. Owie. She'd be a good workout buddy, though. She's not only faster on the uptake than her friend, she pushes her toward safety before she takes off running.

    I didn't even notice that. She's running parallel as if to be a blockade from the explosion. #rideordiefriend

    I'm probably a bad person but I can't help but laugh seeing this clip.

    No! I won't do it! Can't make me! I probably can run like a pro for maybe two blocks and enjoy it, attempting to get better.

    I run so I can keep up with Natsu, Erza, Gray, and Lucy. Oh and because my FFXIV chara never stops running.

    Seriously, I run to improve speed, endurance, and health.

    I would like to say I run because it frees my soul, relieves my stress, allows my brain to relax and dream, increases my health, fitness and strength...

    but the real reason I run is because I think I look damn cute wearing a pair of short compression shorts, a dayglow orange racerback tank over a hot pink sports bra and lime green running shoes. Plus my running playlist is awesome fun.

    I run because it teaches me to breathe better. It's the best cardio I've found for my heart and lungs. I don't particularly enjoy it, but I feel so accomplished afterward.

    Love to run. Like the calories that burn off so I can have a few extra for the day. I always feel better after a run. I don't care if you run 8 min mile or 13 min mile. You are running not sitting on the couch

    oh and of course, because punching people is frowned upon

    This is really good. And as I think of it, I also run because people cannot b*tch & moan if they cannot keep up with you.
