Wow that sounds like me. I did it to shape up at first but now it is somewhat of an addiction I think and yeah I love the way it makes me feel. I used to go 3 or 4 times a week but I reduced it to 2 as I started running further and needed time to recover.

I always hated running at school..and now I love it. Weird! Kayaking...wow..where do you do that? I bet that gives a good buzz?

Kayaking is fun. I have a friend that has 2 kayaks so I let him tell me where and when we're going. It helps a lot that we joined a kayaking group in our area. They scout out the paddles and have people there to lead the rest of us. Makes it rather easy on our part, we just show up and paddle around in all of these new places whenever we can make it.

You do get a buzz. I found that I start out- then get tired, but if I ignore that and keep going the second wind comes and I can pretty much keep going without stopping. In fact, we challenged the people in a motorboat once to a race and beat them in, that was fun. So yeah, I never thought I'd try it but am glad I had the chance and I quite like it. Night paddling is the bomb The quiet, lights from the shore, murmurs of people talking from far away, a gentle breeze, the moon shining on the water...honestly it's a great experience.

Once every six months I have to run atleast two miles. Other than that, I do a few laps around the track once a month. If and when I can snap out of bed at 0400, I'll do a one to one and a half mile jog. I also do the one minuet sprints and one minuet walks.

I like running around the track once and then walking half of it followed with another run continue to repeat untill I'm too tired.

I was on a track team in school.  I ran cross country..the 440.  Can't say as though I care to run anymore.

I get serious leg pain..did in school to but I wasn't as smart back then to quit.

I do like exercise.  Spend my running time on the elliptical now at the gym.  It doesn't hurt my legs..still get the same workout.
