Re: How long until you started enjoying running?
when i was in elementary school & we had our 600 yd run portion of the physical fitness test. i liked it. i wanted to go longer. in jr high i competed in my first race, a 2 1/4 mile xc jaunt. i loved it. i've always gravitated toward solo type activities, running is that. i run alone, but occasionally i'll run with a teammate. i race, more because i feel i need to than love to. i've been injured & unable to run ... the training by myself is what i miss. the meditation, the thoughts that stream through my head, the animals i see, the feeling of propelling myself forward under my own power beholden to no one, the liberty of flight ... i love to run.
