why I love running:
I can get through the leftover easter candy in under a week and still have calories left over and lose a pound while I'm stuffing back snickers minis.
It's the only thing I do where I can see genuine improvement from week to week
It's peaceful and I get to see what's going on in my neighborhood
It makes me feel powerful, awesome, incredible. for like 12 hours after I'm finished.
It puts me into a better mood. instantly.
Why do you love running (or whichever activity you love)?

I'm sorry. but you're out for a really great reason. And you'll be back running in no time!
congrats again.
1) It's my time to just zone out.
2) It makes me feel awesome, powerful, and accomplished when I'm done.
3) It negates the junk that I eat at times.
4) It makes my dogs happy and exhausted.

I know you feel my pain - I remember those months where your schedule was so crazy you couldn't do everything you wanted, either. Sooooo . . . I guess Ihatechu a little less.

i love running at sunset. it is so peaceful and beautiful. we really get some amazing sunsets around here.
i also love running down at the park near my house. all the school kids are playing sports. it's just a great, fun, active atmosphere that i like seeing & hearing.
i also love how i feel after. i definitely get a high. even my hubby notices b/c he says i don't shut up after i get home, lol.
i also just like talking about running w/ my sibs, friends, coworkers, and neighbors. it's just fun to talk shop and get tips/advice. kind of like this board too.
I love having time to just zone out
I love the feeling of accomplishment after finishing (even if it just a short run)
I love how it makes my legs look and how much stronger they are, even if I curse them when I am in the fitting room
GO! St. Louis Half Marathon-2:32:13

This x 100000000000. I loathe actual running but LOVE how I feel after. Love!

I love running because I love beer, lol.
But seriously, though, it's the most effective workout for me. I feel my sexiest when I've been training diligently for a race.
And I also love racing. That's probably one of the biggest gains for me. Seeing all that hard work and dedication paying off when I cross the finish line. The atmosphere of races is incredible.
