Title: Does anyone like to run??
Post by: Red5 on May 15, 2002, 05:37:58 pm
Does anyone here run on a consistent basis?? in many succesful fields like business you find a direct correlation with a high percentage of runners and successful people, just curious if anyone in the community runs, and if so how much per week and per day...??

here ill go

I run 5-13 miles a day with 5 being on average and 13 is the long run i do every week, i have done this steady around 25 to 35 miles a week for about a year now...

Are you also successful? And in what sense?

I don't run. I cycle and I play football (or soccer). Running...well, there's nowhere to run around here. I can get farther cycling.

This should be an OT, big time....

Since the crucifixion of Setekh, the land of HLP fell into darkness and was overrun by the Trolls and Spammers. Steak 5:7
Title: success
Post by: Red5 on May 15, 2002, 05:50:52 pm
i wasnt meaning to sound like HEY IM BIG SUCCESSFULL

but the fact that in high school (im college now) i was 232, no social skills, and poor and now i go to a prestigous private U, weigh 149, do freaken public relations with tristate businesses and made enough money in sales to "take it easy" for a while confirms that running and success go hand in hand...that is if you view that stuff as success...

Ehhh........ I think it has more to with a mindset change than the fact that you're running around.

Oooooo Something I like....this is a trick isn't it? :nervous:

 Anyways I run on a regular basis, 1-3 miles for time 5-15 miles for distance, due to work I've had to cut it short a bit, but if it were up to me I'd be running 10 miles per day timed. I've been running consistently for maybe 6 years now and I've kept record of something like 6300 miles or something. You do feel a lot better when you keep active, least I do anyway. And Red what's your time for these runs after a year, and just how old are ya?

I walk fast enough to have others consider it to essentially be running (:D), but I don't like physical work at all and do not do it for the sake of exercise. (most of my day is spend sitting in the same chair :D) I actually feel much worse after running or doing any physical work, but I feel really, really good after some nice mental activity like solving math problems; good enough to do even more problems. :D

 Actually, I'm not mentally lazy. Let's put it this way, if you were to put the same amount of time into weightlifting that you put into math, your torso would be so big I don't think you'd be able to go to the bathroom by yourself. Your arms wouldn't reach that far. Between work, school (yea I know it's over) and here, I get enough mental stimulation, I think. You just need to get outside and reaquaint yourself with the sun :D

I put miles on my trackball every day, though occasionally I give it a break and use my mouse.  And I walk to my car to go places.  If I'm late, I run to it.  And when I'm at work, I usually run to the Taco Bell across the street for my half-hour break.  That's about it.

Heh, I have much better physical activities to do... ;7

But I enjoy cycling when I have the time (either at home at those... whatever you call it or with a real bike in the streets), and playing Golf (you may think it's not real exercise, but go do range practice for two hours straight... :D ).

You're linking correlation and causality. That = BAD! :D

And has everyone noticed that apart from a select few, we all seem to be playing up the amount of exercise we do? :p

Truth could be intolerably heavy? Or not hollow? Just hypothesizing ;):p
