Answer 5

I don't run to lose weight.  Well I suppose I'm always training for my races but I don't think of it that way.  I just love it.

I think of it as getting self-satisfaction.  The feeling of adding another mile.  Finishing that last mile.  I feel so accomplished!  As if I can do anything.

When you fight through the pain in your legs.  Mind wins over body.  I feel so strong internally.

I love it after you pushed yourself for miles, your shirt is all sweaty.  It's like proof of how hard you worked.  And it feels like I sweat out all the toxins and evils in my body.  My body feels so pure.

Answer 6

I started running for health reasons.  Since the heart is a muscle you can make it stronger through exercise.  Now my big reason it makes me feel good.  It also allows me to eat and drink a little without gaining weight.  As Paul Newman used to say I run two miles a day because I like my beer.  I started running in 1967 before there were running shoes.  I saw these old men around with skinny legs, a shuffle, and their belly hanging over their belt and said that ain't going to be me.  Now if I do not run I get grumpy.  What is important is engaging in some kind of physical activity.  Walking, swimming, biking, etc. and making a life commitment to it.

Answer 11

It's funny when I started out in my mid teens, I used to look at people and wonder why they would pound the pavement, endlessly looking puffed out and red, sweating people looking at them like they were mad?! My opinion changed when I started a course at college prior to joining the military, I started running 25 mins three times a week, lol I thought that was hard at the time! when ever I get down or have a bad day, I take to the road... It honestly makes me high, and clears my head. Put on the Ipod and go for it...
