    I hate running. Too much like hard work. Music would not help. Would not drown out the pain on the knees etc. I don't do any real exersice other than walk to the shops or walk about at work. Perhaps why I'm a little heavier than I want to be.
    I'm blaming too much beer, though.

    Running through the woods is my favorite... Sometimes music, but for the most part just silence...

    i rather walk than run. just running is a bit boring....if i'm going to run, i'll do some sprints or stair runs.

    i need the music for lifting. nothing like "dancing queen" playing when your hitting the big weights

    i love to run. it's therapeutic for me. maybe i'll go run now. ugh, if only i didn't have other very important things i have to do... a run sounds really nice right about now.

    i usually like some music... not necessarily motivational music (upbeat) but definitely something to listen to. sometimes i watch the tv at the gym when i'm on the treadmill, but tv sucks so bad it's not really worth it.

    nakedtree hug, go run, just do it, like nike, baby. you'll be glad you did.

    report back once youre done.

    i just finished two miles. i usally bang out three but i felt no energy kicking in my system today.


    yeah, odon, running does suck, but i like the high it gives me. it's an expensive high.

    No worries. I get angry listening to that type of music too. Very angry.

    I like running sometimes.

    Regarding the music, it needs to be something upbeat for running. Not that theme from the movie 'Chariots of Fire'. That sounded like music that an old granny listens to while knitting in a rocking chair. :)

    I know people say you get a "high"...the release of endorphin, etc.
    I've had similar experiences when I was lifting weights.

    i walked along the avenue.
    I never thought Id meet a girl like you;
    Meet a girl like you.
    With auburn hair and tawny eyes;
    The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through;
    Hypnotize me through.

    And I ran, I ran so far away.
    I just ran, I ran all night and day.
    I couldnt get away.

    A cloud appears above your head;
    A beam of light comes shining down on you,
    Shining down on you.
    The cloud is moving nearer still.
    aurora borealis comes in view;
    aurora comes in view.

    And I ran, I ran so far away.
    I just ran, I ran all night and day.
    I couldnt get away.

    Reached out a hand to touch your face;
    You're slowly disappearing from my view;
    Disappearing from my view.
    Reached out a hand to try again;
    i'm floating in a beam of light with you;
    A beam of light with you.

    And I ran, I ran so far away.
    I just ran, I ran all night and day.
    I couldnt get away.

    last time I ran I made it about 16 feet short of a mile. ran the whole way, collapsed, had a grand mal seizure, deserved it, saw the thing coming, kept running anyway, wanted to make it the mile, failed.

    apparently when I came around and didn't know which way was up I tried to keep going, mom did not let me though.

    hahhaha, holy shit. it takes some level of killer instinct to get up and try to finsih. :)


    a short time ago, i was qualifying for a two mile...there were 60 of us. in short, some droped just like you and were rushed to the hospital... 100 plus degrees and 98 precnet humidity didnt help. was that you, br0?


    you know it is time to resume running when...

    you analyze your body and decide what you should develop first is your sense of humor.
