So for the past month, I have been waking up before 6 A.M to run in a program provided by the rec center near me. I hate it. I thought I was done after today but I have another week of running. :cry:

I hate it too. Running (jogging) as a form of exercise is boring as hell. I'll chase a ball around all day long and stay fully entertained ,,, running just to run though fucking blows.

In college I was required to run 5 miles every Monday, Wednesday , and Friday mornings. The Wednesday morning run was on the beach (half of it in the loose sand).

I haven't run / jogged since thank God.

I prefer hiking over running. Hiking's fun. Running in the summer? Not so much.

I've always hated running, especially in the Army (you have to run in formation, yuck)... I like swimming more because it's more fun, and a better workout... However I haven't been swimming in years.

In the summer I love skating, it's a great workout, a lot more fun, and the ice keeps me cooler.

I go down to the beach and watch my dog run. I do get a fair amount of stick throwing in though. Running? That'd be for the dogs.

Hmm I guess I'm the only one that likes it.

It's over 100 and I'd still be outside runnin. I like it, its fun 4 me, especially rockin out 2 Avengers tunes.

Makes me feel like a badass ya know?

I think walking is fine, gets you cardio but doesn't make you feel burnt out.

When I do run, it's usually sprints. I stand with the sun to my back and race my shadow for 40 yards. Then I jog back to the goal line and try again...I've yet to beat the bastard.

I like running too. But now I have a gym and when it's 100 degrees I use the elliptical machine. Running is great, it's like an escape. I just put on headphones, listen to music and not worry about the world for 45 minutes.
