Does anyone else hate running?

[panicjl]

I went out for my evening run and just couldnt get into it. I dont know if it was the balmy humidity, the hills of cloverdale or what. Then it occurred to me, running just sucks.

I'm more of a treadmill runner...
But I have to mix it up. Went spinning tonight. That's always a good workout...to say the least.

My husband totally agrees with you. He played varsity basketball (Air Force Academy and Tulane), but always hated the running part. My daughter was a basketball player, too (at MIT until she hurt her back doing suicides at practice), and she despises running.

I, on the other hand, love running. I feel so good after running ... that is, until I got plantar fasciitis. I have been treated by several doctors with no success. I go to a new one, Dr. Perry Julian, in Atlanta in a couple of weeks. He cured my primary physician, so hopefully he can cure me so I can get back to running 25 miles a week like I did until January 2005. That would make me very happy.

Before my back, feet and knee problems came about from running, I loved to run. Now, things are a bit different. Heck, try walking a couple thousand miles over mountains and you may also tire of simply walking. Pedaling is much better on my body.

Running makes me feel old! I like a nice walk with my friend- we solve the world's problems, it's a good stretch on the hills, I can talk (instead of gasp) while walking, we can look in windows when it's dark eek: )- many more benefits than if we were dashing around the neighborhood. Four miles is the perfect distance to get my head back on right.

Running is awfully jarring.
I'm all about swimming and walking.

I went to school in Eugene OR...the running capital of the world! A lot of first dates were when the guy said, hey you wanna go for a run. NO. I hated it -- no one looks good running. Anyway, I don't run anymore...unless its to the bathroom

I get really bad tenonitis in my ankles...but I'm good for about a 30 minute run. Then it's to the ellipical.

Im am thinking of switching to something a little more low impact. My ankle is killing me after every run, I broke it playing intramural basketballa couple of years ago and had to have surgery and it;s never been right.

Hey, I ran on that track, just for a photo op, though. Got busted by the campus police for jumping the fence while there, but he was cool.
