Question

Answer 1

running to me is fun, because i do it competitively...im in track and field, do the 800m and the 1500m, and there is nothing better than to set a new record in my own personnal times, or even better, winning a medal... also, scientists have done extensive reserach and they have discovered that when running for a long time, the brain realeses hormones in the body that make you feel good and better about yourself.. in other words, you get srot of drugged up naturally and it has no negative side effects.. oh yeah and you get in better shape and lose a lot of weight.

One day I was practicing. I was really tired, I fell in exhaustion. I knew I had to stay strong and get back up. I got back on my feet gained wind and pulled through to finish the run...best feeling in the world.

Answer 5

I want to just answer this question with simple..

running= love.

my first true love for that matter hahahha.

running= life.

and since im not religious

running= god.

running is just...unbelievable as you know. But it's like..once you've broken that barrier of what you thought you could do, and then what you CAN do..it's like nothing is impossible. And not just running. You find more than just physical strength, you get this mental strength thats so incredible.

i havent run for 8 weeks due to a stress fracture (from running, haha but it was worth it) and the entire time it was like withdrawl. but all this work that ive done to get to this point, im not worried about what shape ill be in. if ive learned anything, its to never give up. one more mile, always.

magic.

running is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
