Running!

Hey all! I recently began running to get "in shape". I'm not much of a couch potato but I'm starting soccer in the fall and there's a family reunion in July/August in Glacier National Park (great place, soooo beautiful) with big (10-15 mile hikes) planned. So I started running!!

My dad used to run marathons so he's training me and stuff. Today I ran from the coffee shop my mom works at to my house (about 3 miles) all together it took 37 minutes (30 running, 7 fast walking since I got a few side stitches).

Anyway. Does anyone else here run? It's a great thing. I feel so good afterwards and I get a great sense of accomplishment from it. ^_^
 
Sweet! I just finished a race on May 13, 2003. It was the 5/3 riverbank run a 25k. I had a few problems around mile 12 with leg craps but I finished. If you want to look at my photos click here Congrats on you way to start running.

Last time I really ran anywhere was about 12+ years ago. I had a case of beer under one arm while running through the forest trying to find someplace to hide myself cos I could hear the police breaking up our party.

Not that I condone underage drinking...

I used to run x-country & track in school... x-country wasn't really my thing...I just did it to stay in shape for track season. 1/4 mile....now THERE's a race.

Nope, I don't run. There is this new invention called a car that gets me anywhere I need to go in a hurry.

I do on the otherhand lift weights every night. 12oz. curls , at least 12 sets.

I've been known to do the treadmill thing as well as walk laps around the school track.

Between Martial Arts, having one of the most spread out campuses EVER, and weightlifting, I think I can do without running. -on a side note- One of the biggest problems that I have with weightloss pills is that they were mide primarily for people who are to bloody lazy to do any exercise (or even eat right).
