    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)

    Agreed!

    Not today, but yesterday because my boss is also a tool and scheduled a meeting that ran into my usual step class... so I ran.

    I ran today... because I registered for my first half marathon yesterday!

    I will officially start my training plan next week, but a friend who is training for a 15k needed to do an 8 mile run today, so I tagged along. My previous farthest distance was 7miles. :o)

    I ran because I wanted too and then I walked because I thought I was going to pass out because of the heat index so I will try again tonight when it is cooler and more shade...

    awesome!

    i ran (at 4:30 this morning) because:

    1. its too hot in texas to run at any other time

    It's only 100+ out there! :)

    I'll be running this afternoon after work because I am tired of sitting at a desk all day. I'll be doing to before the sun goes down because I have this perception it's better for me to sweat like a stuffed pig when i am running, and in the Texas weather that takes about... 30 seconds?

    I will be doing my 6 mile run tonight because:

    1. I have a few half marathons coming up and my training plan said 6 miles
    2. I burn off the stress of the day and actually become a human being again
    3. Once I finish I can relax and don't have to hurry up and get ready for work

    That being said, an early morning run is great because it's over and done with, and I feel more energized for the rest of the day. Not to mention it's nice and quiet out!

    I'm going for a run after work because I just quit smoking and can't wait to see what I can do without cigarettes holding me back!

    Because I'm addicted. I used to absolutely loath (and I meah LOATH) running. After I got in a bit better shape, it's the most amazing thing.....EVER. It's like I'm a junkie and I need my daily fix.

    I am going to run my 7 miles tonight because:

    My family knows it make me happy - If Mama ain't Happy :smile: , no one's Happy :mad:

    I want to maintain the 50 lb+ weight loss

    I am not only training for several 1/2 marathons this Fall, I am going for a Personal Record :wink:

    Life's Short...Run Naked!!!! :drinker:

    Because the dress I bought needs to fit in 5 weeks and there is no way that will happen if I don't!

    I will run tonight after work because I run 3x a week: Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sat/Sun. I finished the C25K and want to maintain my running abilities. I'm doing HIIT for a while though.

    Because it makes me feel strong and gives me energy throughout the day, training for a few 5K's and still working up to the 3+ miles, wanted to try out my new running shoes. i love my early morning runs cause its nice and quiet out, the air is fresh and crisp, and the sun rising is beautiful.

    Needed the stress relief to get me through the day :(

    ya buddy, that is for sure... ;)


    I run because I have a half marathon in 11 days. Because I'm a b*tch if I don't run. Because I want to look like a runner. Because it distracts me from all the other bullsh*t in my life!
