Heck, nowadays, any kind of running isn't my thing, and trust me, not ALL people look "sexy" running.

Why can't people just run or walk to keep fit. Why do they have to have gadgets to tell them how many steps they've done in a day/week/month. I blame the i-phone for stirring things up. Still, I guess it's each to their own. However, marathon runners are a different matter, they have real purpose!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099030819314552958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-36436119405069392432016-06-09T09:20:09.013+01:002016-06-09T09:20:09.013+01:00Democratic, yes - though there is research to say ...Democratic, yes - though there is research to say that almost all women who run/jog have experienced name-calling and obscene suggestions while they are out.

I always have been a runner, never a jogger, and I have spent considerable time running during my life. It has been for practical reasons, rather than simple enjoyment, although I do enjoy it and especially love running at night and watching the stars move/change with the seasons. (Until recently, I generally have lived far from city lights.) I prefer running through woodlands, on or off trails, and am more inclined to go for a mile or two or three jaunt combined with wind sprints before and after, rather than ever-increasing distances. <br /><br />Anyway, you can have the fancy gear, CiL. Dare I say boots and jeans/cutoffs suit me fine in a practical sense most of the time, along with full winter regalia when the temperatures require it .... there is nothing better than running on a frozen lake under a full moon and listening to the ice and the water beneath it "talk."Fram Actualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01540773153894050197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-53922948559813194952016-06-09T02:11:06.927+01:002016-06-09T02:11:06.927+01:00I can assure you that running is NOT sexy, at leas...I can assure you that running is NOT sexy, at least it isn't when I do it, or so I've been told. stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-710360605786812992016-06-09T01:51:45.291+01:002016-06-09T01:51:45.291+01:00I always took Pheidippides death as a warning :)I always took Pheidippides death as a warning :)sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-19486675809307657412016-06-09T01:14:45.522+01:002016-06-09T01:14:45.522+01:00You are so funny!
