pretty sure i am on the wrong forum here but was wondering if anyone else does any running?

i only really took it up this year but i have really caught the bug and its possibly one of the most surprising things i have learnt about myself

currently reading this:



really good even if you are not into running, absolutely mental true story of people who become ultra runners, andf a mexican tribe who run for 2 days just for fun basically. incredible!

Used to do cross country at school but even then found it utterly dull. Running after loli is probably the only time that it's enjoyable. Only into getting fit where I have fun i.e. biking, chin ups, racquet sports.

i thought it was dull too, but not really anymore, its bizarre

i might have to aim for this, marathons are for wimps

So you used to run and found it dull but now run and find it exciting? Or you've just taken it up now?

I think I'm a thrill seeker and running just doesn't quite crack it.

I can't do long distance, find it really dull. I need a ball to chase

well i had done a bit of jogging about before for the race for life fun run things and never really got it, and at school hated it. but this year i have found it quite exhilerating and an interesting test and stretch of my physical and mental capabilities, you sort of zone out of normal thought and concentrate on your body and its quite mad.

my boss runs marathons, although he started to get injuries. so he took up triathlons instead. i'll come in sometimes and there'll be all this coughing and spluttering form the office. upon asking how he is, I'll discover he's recovering form the flu which he's had all weekend, but still went for a bike ride and did a triathlon.

i think he might be addicted.
