Running is a great sport. You can actually get hooked on it to the point where you are out running in the rain or snow because you don't want to miss a day. Long distance running was always a passion of mine but I kind of gave it up when I got married. A year or so afterwards, i noticed I was putting on the pounds so I took up running again. That was 20 years ago and I've never stopped. I have slowed down considerably. The longest I ever ran was 10 miles back in 1987. I ran 8 miles many times and for a while was running 6 miles every day. Today, I run about 1.5- 2 miles. My legs and ankles are not what they used to be and I'm only out there about 3 days a week. I keep trying to get back into the daily routine but it's been difficult.
10 miles. I run as often as possible. I have a treadmill inside, but if it is nice outside I run a a whole lot further than inside. Running is only great if you can continually get to the point where you are just running - meaning that there is a point in running where it seems your lungs say 'okay I give in' and your thought process becomes nill, just you and the running.
I just love running, before I twisted my ankle, I ran like 4 to 5 times a week, but now, even though my injury has healed, it's hard to get into it again, because of the snow, but I try.
The farthest distance I have gone must be somewhere in the vicinity of 10 to 11 miles. Currently, I stick to a 12K distance
