Running!

Hey, dudes. I was just wondering if anyone on here runs at all. For the past two weeks, I've run almost every day (I had to take a day off because I was working myself too hard, apparently. My legs are always killing me and I have major blisters.) and I'm really proud of myself. I want to run in this 5k that my city is having in Febuary, and I'm kind of nervous, because the most I've run without stopping is 2.1 miles. I'm going to try to get to three miles before the month is over.

So, does anyone else run? What kind of music do you listen to when you run? You ever get in 'the zone'? (I only have a few times, but it's AMAZING.)

Me! Me! Me! Although I haven't run for a while since I have work after school and I'm in an intense P.E. class. (Go read your "About the Authors" post, I replied about this. )

I run!

Less so now than I used too...sadly. But I play soccer, so it's kind of required

Fast paced music, of course!

I run too! Not very well, and not very far, and not for very long... but I am working on it.

I like music with driving percussion. That seems to motivate me best. Occasionally I listen to rap when I run, but I prefer to save that for weight-lifting. I ran to Goo Goo Dolls the other day, which worked out surprisingly well.

The Goo Goo Dolls? I wouldn't think that they'd be good to run to, since they don't have very fast beats or anything. I listen to "Bombs Over Baghdad" by Outkast, and that's a really good song to run to, but mostly I listen to Fall Out Boy's From Under the Cork Tree and sometimes their newer album, but there aren't very many fast songs on that one.

Oh, but I'm thinking of trying out for the track team. I'm not very fast, but I think that I could be good at long distance if I worked on my endurance and stuff. Wish me luck, I'm going to the meeting on Monday!

I was on the distance team when I was a freshman. It was really hard and I wasn't very fast, but I was in GREAT shape lol.

I run, but I'm a sprinter, so I don't really listen to music, can't get enough inspiration from music in less than 10 seconds.

I wish I was fast! When I was little, I was the fastest person ever. I could run like there was no tomorrow, and I really thought that I could win races when I was older.

And then I got boobs.

Yes, yes, it's a very tragic experience. I'm actually aching all over right now (mainly my calves and shins) because I just went for a three mile run. I'm trying to train for the 5k I'm entering, and I did the course almost without stopping. (Although, some random lady stopped me to talk about crocodiles. I could hardly see straight and she was like pointing at something, but I was like falling over, so she let me go, hahah._

WT, do you train a lot? Or are you just fast naturally?
