I still run because I found -- and it took me many, many years to find this out -- that I love to run!!!
OK, I gave you guys my top reason, but really there are so many reasons -- many the same as those you've all been mentioning. I have one more big one: to be an example for my kids. Lincoln, my 8-year-old non-athlete, ran a mile tonight on our treadmill!

|There it is one of my favorite reasins as well. My son and daughter ran a mile last Saturday and they finally were able to walk around the house acting like their dad. They were limping and acting like they had just finished a long run, which to them they really did. It is awesome to watch. Congrats Daddio!|

I did not read that correctly the first time I thought he was your athlete. That makes this that much more of an accoplishmen. My non-athlete hates running but will ride for miles with me. He won't run a mile, for anything. Maybe someday!

At this point? Because I'm too darn stubborn to quit. Ever. Jimmy's got me down for 5 miles today, and they'll have to be on the treadmill, because what isn't water and slush out there is ice. And I live at the bottom of a hill. There's gonna be treadmill-like action either way, so I might as well run on the indoor one!
Also, I get the distinct impression that if Jimmy could have emailed me a straw, he would have. 
God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy.
It's ok, I clicked on the link.
So........I followed The Jimmy's schedule, because he's so matter of fact about it, and ran five miles. On the dreadmill. And then stretched and iced my shins. Stupid shin splints. Stupid not-training-properly Sara.
On the plus side? I feel great from the knees up.
(on the minus side, while I was at the gym I got on the scale.)

Gym scales are notoriously inaccurate.
