I Am a Runner Stories of Experiences

and have been since I started running at all on 07/31/2011.I mostly do 5K events, but some are longer.I plan to run the Bare to Breakers on 05/19.So, let’s run bare together!

I'm going to run 15 miles today....

Why anyone wouldnt run is beyond me..... When all day long most of us sit still and strain ourselves mentally and emotionally it feels so logical to counteract this and complete the day with the most basic physical movement: putting one...

I don't know if any one on this form ran in the Boston marathon today. But if you did or you know some one that did my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Luckily every one I know is safe and okay. But for those that were affected...

I have decided to try and improve my running. I'm still not a competitor, I just run to keep from falling over dead from heart disease before I'm 60. Anyway, I've pushed my pace down by about 38 seconds or so. Not bad considering I'm...

As she pushed herself forward, she ran harder until she felt that flow she had long missed.
Her feet were no longer heavy, her arms cut the air in front of her and with the cadence of an antelope, she flew.

Not bound by anything at...

I run at least 4 times a week covering about 50 miles in total. It's the best exercise to keep me in shape. It also ease my stress with my very busy work life.
On the days I'm not running I build myself up by doing weight training...
I...

I like to run!! it is my way to be free and keep my mind out of thinking about work and family.It is so relaxing just being alone felling the air the smells around you as you run.hard to explain but I know you all your runners know...

Damn I'm good! Really, for a 9:44 pace? Runkeeper, I think I LOVE you. Of course nobody needs to know that I ran fast 'cause I was freezing my ass off. LOL

Personally Ive been a runner a few years both on my own and for teams, Ive done track and cross country. In love it because its so fun, to go fast to feel the wind blow by you, see muscle build up in your legs as they get more powerful...

I love to run!! Run at least 4 times a week. Great cardio and it always takes away any stress and relaxed me. Always feel great after. Just need a running partner to run with :)

Everyone knows that running is a great way to get into shape, but did you know that it can benefit almost every part of your body, as well as lift your mood? Running is incredibly effective at making you healthier in a number of ways...

Does anyone have a do/do not recommendation on K-Tape? I read articles that it is helpful, but haven't heard of someone that's used it.

It means something different to everyone but to me, being a runner means pushing yourself at every turn. Running is peace for many people, but for me peace comes only once I completely exhaust myself. It's kind of like what Pre said...

Fitness and shape are essential considerations for every human being, I feel. I am very particular about my personal fitness, and to that end I both swim and run regularly. I also go to the gym, and look forward to games activities at...

"How many pairs of sneakers do you own??". I get this all the time. Sorry...um I lost count. I just got two more....two pair of "ironman" sneakers. They say ironman on them. I put them on. And I just HAD to run. They fit like a glove. I...

Following 2 shoulder surgeries in less than half a year, I haven't run in a long time. My doctor wants me to stay away from running until my should can take two things;
The pumping of my arm while running.

He wants to make sure...

I will run today. I will not think about it but just do it. Despite how I feel. I will be ready for another race season coming in march. I will be prepared to give it my all. I will put my headphones on. I will close my eyes. And I...

I've just returned from the midwestern place where I grew-up and turned a normal run into a walk down memory lane. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon and I was really just out to escape reality for a little while when I got this idea...

My legs hurt. A bones ache, deep below the knee, left me hobbling home on more than one stark starry morning. But I kept at it. On occasion an old husky dog would grace me with her accompaniment, teaching me how to pass wary farmhouse...
