    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 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)

    No better way to do it than with a Friend! :smile:

    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.

    Because I know I am going to end up in a huge blowout with my mother this evening....

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

    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)

    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!

    For the beautiful bottle of prosecco waiting in my fridge, so I can indulge in as many glasses as I'd like!

    I will run first thing tomorrow morning because I love how it is making my legs look! I will run because I have a 5k coming up in the fall, and hopefully a 10k after that!

    Because I am addicted to the endorphins

    Because work generally sucks and it helps me deal with it better

    Because of the calorie burns

    Because I'm a Type A/overachiever personality and I like to be able to say I did it

    Because I have a couple half marathons and another marathon I'm getting ready for

    Because it's MY time to focus on ME!

    I ran to clear my head of all the stressful crap. To get away from everything and everyone that could have been increasing that stress at that moment. To just enjoy being me, and improving me!

    If I dont run I feel like I am cheating myself
    I ran this morning becasue we have three new firemen in training and we run everyday of the week.
    I am at 54 miles for this month and plan on going over 60 miles for the month....
    I have dropped 2 % bodyfat running this month....
    I am addicted and I have always hated running!

    Among many goals that I have I am going running right now because of your posts! Very motivating because I am getting into running for similar reasons. I am currently doing C25k because...

    1) Stress release
    2) Feel better through the day
    3) Would like to have runners legs
    4) Would like to be able to do something I have never been able to do before.

    I'm heading out for my run because...

    I just read this thread!

    I planned to and I'm going to do it!

    Because I'm going to Hawaii with girlfriends in mid-October and would LOVE to rock a bikini!

    Because I love how I feel at the end of my run...:drinker:
