Gav 1,708 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Only when I'm being chased !! I all ways said I was a better runner than a fighter, but if you see me fight you would see how shit I can run Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sirocco 0 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Yea i live in Grangetown in the north east, around here you tend to see lots of people running after dark, usually persued by blue flashing lights Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stabs 2 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 I run most days...I was running after work when I lived in town but now I live in the sticks I have to run before work. It's still pitch black when I start but it's getting light when I finish. The dogs love it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gav 1,708 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Wish my legs would work enough for me to walk let alone run, I get by though, thats not a skit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kay 3,709 Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Well i have never excersized in my life but its very addictive & as long as the dog gets a run every day thats fine by me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
speedlamper 0 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 i thought about going running once but then i thought if i run somewhere then i'd have to run back to where i started from which is completly pointless so i might aswell stay where i am Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bosun11 537 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Well done Kay, running can be tough to start for someone thats never done it before, fair play to you for stickin with it enough to feel the benifits both phisically and mentally. I've been in the sports & leisure industry most of my working life, run before that and still run now. No better form of excercise can be done as easily and cheaply, as the old Nike ad said "Just do it". Recently got Tracy to take up the challenge, shes been going the gym for about two years but never ran, I've been trying to persuade her of the benifits for all that time. Anyways, she started back in February, feckin loves it now and has entered the Liverpool 'Race For Life' event, i'm very proud. Oh, just one last thing Kay, won't go into training, enough of those tips on the net BUT make sure you have decent running shoes, its well worth the cash spent, running can be hell on joints over time and shin splints are feckin agony!!
