Okay I know some people couldn't be paid enough to run long distance, but I'm in love with it.  Anyone else share the passion?

I've always enjoyed the competitive side of running, especially as a School
sport, where my High School had such an esteemed record for turning out
'track talent '. Alhough I wwasn't anything like in the class of those clearly
with considerable natural ability, being part of sports carnivals was great -
you could always rely on someone from your 'squad' to finish in 1st place!

Outside of that, I'd have to say running with a Rugby ball toward a try line
rates pretty highly aswell; pity my parents decided to nip my career in the
bud in lieu of constant injuries to my older brother. Note my Avatar theme

I had horrible shin splints when I first began but once I got over it, it was amazing.  Almost like when I'm running nothing can hurt me. It's this battle I fight against myself to reach my goal and when I get there it's like I'm that much stronger than when I began. I know it probably sounds ridiculous. I love running probably as much as I love music. :D I can see though where people wouldn't like it, you're right, it can hurt

I like running.

Once the teacher said we had to run 5 laps on the track, I ran ten.

I like running, but I especially like listening to Vanessa Carlton while doing it.
And needless to say you're the one that I need the most...

I had a dilemma today; the only way I was going to make an appointment
by midday was to run the 21.5KM; up to a ½ marathon :dr evil:  I managed to
postpone the appointment I had until Friday... and it looks like I've landed
a job by virtue of my experience (I can't wait to offer them my "2007 Wine
Service Award" plaque to hang on their wall). It has to carry some Kudos!

i love running so much, it's so therapeutic. i think it was vanessa who got me into it a bit more actually! i've been doing it for a couple of years now but i remember being inspired to keep it up when she was running the marathon and things

I like running, though I hate competitive running, just like I hate competitive anything.  It's fun, I get to places quickly, and it's good for you.

I've been able to run 6min 10 secs recently on a mile, which sucks. oh well, I'll have to try harder, my best is 5 min 58 seconds, which is better.
