Why do I run:
I'm a very poor sport when it comes to team sports. So I run because it's just me against the course, and I only have myself to blame for a poor performance. |
Why I started running:
Basically to lose weight, although I became a marathon runner because my buddy ran one, and I figured if he could do it, so could I. Now I can't stop. People say to me "you must really love running." Honestly, I don't really like it all that much. But the marathon is my motivation to keep going and stay in shape. I know what it feels like to run a marathon that you're not prepared for, and I don't want to go through that feeling ever again. |
