What is your reason for running?

1. It's a totally selfish hour all about me. The rest of my day is pretty much dedicated to looking after others, this is ME time!
2. I never thought I could run for 10 minutes straight, let alone an hour.
3. There's something addicting about 5k and 10k races, even when I finish at the bottom of the pack.
4. Every day is a chance to be a little better (and faster) than the day before!
Oh... and the calorie burn is a nice bonus...0 -

This is literally what I'm training for...lol! The Run For Your Lives 5K obstacle course infested with zombies!
OH MY GOD how did I not know something like this existed?! I'm going to start training for this tomorrow!0 -
I started because I wanted more than I was getting form my walks. Before I knew it someone had mentioned signing up for a 5k. The feelings I experienced each little step as I got better are hard to describe. The night I ran my first 5k and ran the entire distance, alone, I just knew that as long as I train and prepare for something, I have no limits.
Oh, and it is completely addicting. :-)0 -
Makes me feel AWESOME!!!!!!0

Because I committed to running a 5K and the only way I will ever accomplish that is by training.
Me too! I want to be able to participate in "Tough Mudder" without being dead last. So to get ready for that startin gin December I'll begin a C25K with cross training to get ready to do a "Warrior Dash" AND then maybe at the end of next year I'll be ready for those 11-13 miles for Tough Mudder!0 -

if it starts with a gin, that sounds like my kind of race. Very civilised.0 -
