running

iamlucille Thanks for the wish of luck. I have been training since January.

I don't run myself (too painful, but I wish I could), but I like to watch running and read about famous runners.

I like running.

I love running. It boosts my confidence, keeps me positive, and is very relaxing. I miss it quite a bit right now, since the Saskatchewan winters are too cold and icy for outdoor running and I can't afford to hit the gym, but at least there's always winter sports

I ran cross-country the past four years at school, but I stopped this year. The reason? I felt that the stress I'd get from the combination of school and sports would outweigh the amount of satisfaction I'd get from it. However, I do run the 400m for my Track & Field team and love it (as well as all three jumps, but that's not running, is it). It's just a short and sweet race, and I feel great after doing it.

I sadly dont experience "runner's high" when I run it makes me feel hopeless and really...really sad. Also when we do the mile run before EVREY GOD DAMN PRACTICE! I get so bored and anxious, my attention span is too short to run anything longer than a lenght of the soccer field.

When I run I start getting the shakes and I black out and my blood sugar gets dangerously low.

I wonder if walking at a brisk pace is healthier than or as healthy as jogging? I can get a pretty good cardiovascular workout by walking 3 miles in 45 minutes. Intimidation has prevented me from jogging. Also, I am concerned about all the wear and tear on my bones and joints, and the added risk of sprains, pulled muscles or fractures. Although jogging may burn more calories for a given distance, and work the heart harder, walking seems like it has a better reward/risk ratio than jogging.

I started running a few years ago, mostly as a way to shed some weight. After awhile, I converted to trail-running, and now I do it for the therapy. Also, I'm running my first ultra-marathons this year. Awesome.

SoccerFreak, runners high doesn't usually start to happen until the seven or eight mile range, if at all.

ahayes, I have a low blood sugar problem as well, but have done a number of things work through it. With training and proper fueling, most problems can be overcome if you have the desire.

During winter, do you guys jog outside, or do you jog/walk indoors, ala a shopping mall. I walked a few times inside the shopping mall, which quite a few people do before the stores open.

I love to run outside during the winter. I just did seventeen miles in the snow this past Sunday.

I enjoy running. It helps the heart, gives you the so-called "Runner's High," and gives you energy that lasts even after you've finished running for the day.

I guess I have to bit the bullet and start jogging. I think I'll be able to only manage a half minute sprints , followed by 10 minute of walking to settle myself down. Repeat, rinse.

I dreamed I was running a race. That would be very strange for me.

I do a lot of jogging myself. The only problem is that I live in Houston, Texas, and the weather doesn't cooperate with my exercise habits.

It's either too hot and humid, or it's raining very heavily.
