This is totally inspiring. I’d love to go to Hawaii so much, and I can imagine that running there would be awesome.

I run because it keeps me sane and because it makes me feel strong. As a 120 pound 5’4″ woman, it is not often I get to really, truly feel strong.

i love running because i like to feel strong and invincible.. nothing like a long run with a couple added in sprints to make the other people at the gym stare at you like your a crazy person. LOVE IT!

Thank you so very much for posting this. I have no idea what site this is or what it’s about. But I searched yahoo for ” I love running” I found this site and it completely covers every reason why I love to run. Without all the scenery lol I live in Wichita and started running to pass my PT test. Thank you again

How cool is THAT Ben? I grew up playing soccer – so I could always run… but then when I graduated from HS I thought – what now? I tried triathlons… I was horrible at the swim… but, after a year I was doing decently and then 2 yrs I was doing great… once we find something we’re good at it’s a motivator to keep going and see how far we can go with it. Sounds like you’re on the way to a lifetime of running if you’ve been going for 6 years already.

How did you start it? Did your parents make you – or did you just start on your own?

I’m 16 and I run because I love the fact that 6 years ago I was the slowest and most out of shape kid in my class. Now I’m running 8 miles and feeling like I can go on.
MY NUMBER ONE REASON I LOVE RUNNING
is because I love getting better at it. :D

Hi Lindsey, I love hearing about people older than me running in 10k races and more… that’s so cool. In Thailand here we don’t have many and I’m really busy with baby to do anything like train… so I climb a mountain daily – once or twice and that has to suffice. That’s a cool way to see the city… I’ve not been to Europe… maybe someday? Do you ever come to Thailand? Amaaaaaaaaaazing place! Thanks for writing… :)

I’m 52 and love running. My hobby is: running in 10k races and half marathons which award you with a medal for finishing.I like going to european cities for a weekend and run the race there so I see the city too.I’m english but live in Italy so can get to some cities like Paris, prague,London,Freiburg etc.I want to have as many medals as posible for my old-age as each one tells a story and will remind me of that special weekend.

I’m 39 years old and have been running for 6 months. I started running after I was diagnosed with hypertension. Now I can do a 5K run in 26:02 with a pace of 8:21/mile, and my blood pressure is normal.

I look and feel better than I’ve ever been in my life, and I can empathize with all 27 of your reasons…..especially reason 23.

I love running because through it I can express my feelings and just be proud of who I am and also where I came from. It cleans up my mind and makes me feel literally the “queen of the world”. when I’m running I feel like I myself can build my own future and bond a lifetime relationships. I feel free to do whatever I want to do. Whenever I want and however I want to do so.
I hope I can keep running when I go to college-Penn State. Fight on,State! Go Lions!
