Run

Do you like to run?

Yes or No

sallylou · Feb 19, 2011

Yes! Unfortunately, ligament and joint problems have slowed me down lately. I'm working on building up my strength again.

Lissa · Feb 19, 2011

No, since after I've ran, no matter how long for, I always have a blood taste in my mouth and get out of breath

LoveBlue · Feb 19, 2011

No, I prefer walks.

shel90 · Feb 19, 2011

Yes I do but lately, I haven't been keeping up with it. Hope to get back to it this year.

LeighASL · Feb 19, 2011

Yes, I love running. I like doing it mostly in the evenings, and it usually helps me sleep really well at night.

I used to run, usually 5 and 10k runs, and one half marathon but my knees were destroyed by chondromalacia. No more running for me.

I run around the lake every mornings. Great way to start the day everyday.

Frisky Feline · Feb 20, 2011

I do. Over the years, it was off and on depending on where I was. In the most recents, I have stopped running during my "pre pregnancy and after pregnancy" time. Now I am back to running again! I hope to continue running as long as I can. Like authentic said, I agree! Some of those SO early mornings that I manage to run while my hub is at home with kids until I get home then He goes off to work.

Not able to run anymore. Lucky if I can walk around the neighboehood these days. Since I have been heavy for a number of years, running has always been hard.

Aww I am aware about the damaged knees.

I first time tried the 10k run at age 40. I did the second time with 10k run last month. I plan to participate 10k run in sept. My goal is to do the 10k for 3 times in 2011. I have never tried the 5K but i dont regret about the first time with 10K race instead. I am working on trying to participate the one half marathon but i am not ready! lol

i know there is no way to avoid or find a way to take it easy on knees.

I only run about 3 times a week.

Congratulations!

Yeah, the knee thing is a bummer.

We used to run at least five times a week, and run 5-10k races at least every month.

Yesterday, my hip started giving me problems. It feels like a sudden painful dislocation, then it tapers off. It's been hitting me off and on several times since yesterday. I looked on the web, and it might be from my Prednisone use. It says it eventually will damage both hips. Ugh! Maybe that's not it.

I'm hobbling around with an old cane now.

I called VA clinic today. I have an appointment to see a doctor on Tuesday. My VA doctor is on vacation all month, so I'll be seeing someone else. Sigh....

In the meantime, I'll be limping along. I wish I could run again but right now I can't even go out and work in my garden.

Awesome! I hate running but I like having goals to work towards to. So I am doing a triathlon next week (3 mile run/10 mile bike/400 yard swim). So I really need to increase my training, especially the running part (weakest one for me!). Ran 3 miles yesterday and the day before, so today I will just do swimming and biking.

Right now, my time completing 3 mile run is TERRIBLE (~40 min). I really want to try to do a 10:00 min pace.

I refuse to do marathons. They are so boring to me!

For long races, it depends on the course. An out-and-back course is usually more boring. A race that starts at one point, goes thru an area of changing scenery, and ends at a distinctly separate finish line is more interesting. That's why the Charleston annual Bridge Race is so popular. It starts in one town, crosses the bridge over the river, and ends up in historic downtown Charleston. The scenery, road surfaces, and elevations change along the route.

Thank you. My aunt and uncle used to run together for many years. Eventually they got their sore knees too. Ugh I asked them how to avoid it. Nothing just dont run. :lol:

sadly, my aunt passed away a couple of years ago. My uncle continues to run only if he goes with his grandson who is 9 yrs old have interests for 5k. wow! He said, "just take it easy on knees" that is it. True. I will figure out how to take it easy but impossible to avoid it. I used to hate running until last fall. For some reason it hits me hard and i just started running. I ll see how far I would run and it is not a year yet. until in the fall it will be a year for me to run.
I hope dr will be able to give you some comforts for your hip. I feel you about it.

I admire you for running the race every month. I didn't. I only did the 10k run two times. hopefully i will attend the 10k run in sept as it is in my hometown.

Run? I have trouble walking with my poor balance! I use to love to walk and walked all the time when I was younger. I wish I could run.

I am still a rookie for running. I am learning about each races in each states. So you were talking about the marathon in NC?

No.

I like to walk and ride my bicycle.

I'm taking a walk in a few minutes. :wave:
