 It's never a good day to run. Weirdo. 😅 
 He is fr lol running is extremely meditative and experimental tbh iykyk 
 It never was for me even when I was physically capable of doing it well. It's madness, I tell you. Madness!  
 I never ran as an adult until two years ago. I enjoy it now. 
 Ah. Yes. Stockholm syndrome at its finest. 

🤣 
 Nah. I decided I didn't want any health issues to creep up on me after my heart surgery. I couldn't control being born with a bad valve. The rest of my heart is in great shape. I decided to run because I want to keep it that way. I run for my wife and kids 🥹 I don't want to leave them just yet. 
 Fair enough. At least you're motivated by love. I would rather walk or ride a bike. Beating up my body in the army really killed running for me, especially after being forced back to it prematurely after an injury that was the closest I've come to death. (That I know of.)  
 That sucks man 🫂 
 Yup. But it's my fault for being dumb enough for having literally signed my life away.  
 I used to hate running but I've come to realize that if I ever feel bad or unmotivated or just having a bad day, a run immediately changes it all around. I feel like a different person when I'm done, ready to take on anything! 
 Exercise is meditating.... Wish you great health always.  
 I agree, but I seem to have a mental block where running is concerned.  I could play midfielder in soccer which causes you to run non-stop for an hour while chasing a ball, but you tell me to run on a track or a trail and I think I'm going to die in about 15 seconds.  I will never be a runner.

On the other hand I dash everywhere.  I dash to the door.  I dash to the printer.  I dash downstairs and back upstairs.  I move a lot and fast, but don't tell me to run.
