I started running for weight loss. I continue to run because I can’t NOT run. I dream about it when I’m away too long.
I think I’m addicted.

Euphoric feelings??? Where?!?!

Kidding …

Great poll, but I had trouble choosing. I said, because I can, too.

There’s no “All of the Above” option! I’m not sure how to choose just one.

There are sooooooo many reasons why I run – but mostly because I can!

I’m a stress reduction type too. Maybe it’s a Navy thing?

Though most of my Navy related running memories involve the USMC, which is far from reduced stress. Maybe because they weren’t adding additional stress as long as I continued to run.

Oh, and shout.

Lots and lots of shouting…

I’m officially rambling now.

A “cheap” activity? Are you kidding? Between sneakers, fun new running clothes and race fees—I’m ablout to go broke! :)

I said I just love running, because that’s what it comes down to. I used to run for a lot of other reasons and I’m sure it will change again sometime, but I just love running. (I get a lot of crazy looks when I say that, by the way.)

This was a good poll. I might steal it someday if you don’t mind. :)
