    That's cool.

    I run because it feels liberating, and I don't want to go back to 'the pen'.

    That's me all right. Hang a wedge of cheese off a stick, dangle it in front of me, and watch me go!

    Although so far the best I've managed is a shambling sort of jog. But I'll get faster and then I'll catch dessert sooner!

    Because I can. When you aren't physically able to run for decades, and then finally are, it is a pretty freakin' awesome feeling

    I run because it feels great. It's the only thing that makes me look forward to working out.

    Love all of these! Found the pic on pininterest :) I run because of yes, food, but because it's a stress reliever, I feel amazing, can clear my head, it's good for me, and I am training for a half marathon. :)

    I run because:
    It helps me loose weight
    It makes me feel accomplished
    I love to be outside and enjoy the scenery
    I like to push myelf to do better each time
    It's a great stress reliever and antidepressant
    I get time to listen to my music and "rock out"
    I can! :love:

    I run because I used to hate running. But I used to hate running because I was a chubby kid who got made fun of for trying sports. So I run because nobody discourages me from doing it anymore.

    I also run to stay in shape for the ultimate frisbee team I play on in the Spring/Summer

    And because it reduces my anxiety levels - a huge relief for me!

    And because it clears my head

    And because it makes me set goals that I can acheive

    And because it costs next to nothing (no membership fees, no real expensive sports equipment...)

    And because... I could probably just keep going on and on and on... :P

    I run because before or after a long stressful day, I can feel the stress roll out of my body into my feet onto the blacktop. Makes me feel so liberated and free!

    Substitute BACON for dessert and that's my rationale :happy:

    Also endorphins, and zoning out, and feeling good, and all that crap!

    That's the truth! lol. I run because I like the big calorie burns. I lost 70 lbs with MFP + 100% running.

    ******WARNING**** the following in the snarky comment mandated in all threads.
    I run so that the pack of wild dogs chasing me will not eat me and so I can laugh at the baddies when there sagging pants fall around their ankles. But more seriously I run because it is a great weight reducer, great cardio improver and it’s a freebie exercise.

    It's in my profile... I run because the Doctor might pick me as his next companion! Plus I want to be able to run if my life depended on it!

    I love the feeling of knowing it is me controlling my pace and the distance I achieve. It is my run and no one else's. I am addicted to running :)
