Running informations

It has been really surprising that running can be extremely fun thing to do. I thought it was so boring to run before I started but somehow I got so much by doing it that I have decided that running is part of my life, but I've been running for 156 vikur, or since 24 May 2009. I must also mention that running is a good way to control your weight because you burn ca. 100 calories per km.

I got interested in running when I got to know the C25K C25K program but this program is for the couch potato that wants to get of the sofa and GO OUT SITE RUNING, but it’s a 9 weeks running program and at the end you will jog/run 5 km or run for 30 minutes without any walk!. You can download PodCast for your iPhone/iPod or your MP3 player, where you are led through the program with music and verbal commands. The only thing you have to own is a mp3 players, and shoes ...and when you go outside and do the program a voice tells you to walk or run alternately depending on where you are in the program and it has a refreshing music while you run/walk.

But what is so fun about running ?

Many hear the word "run" and become tired just to think about it, but that is a feeling I understand well, as I have never and I mean NEVER have been able to run! Not even when I was in school and had to run 2.5 km in gym time, so-called "dam Circle", then I walked. Was actually not so reversible to hide behind the church like so many, but I didn’t run, not even to pretend!.

I love running because:

Running is a free sport and the only thing you have to own is a good pair of running shoes.
It is exciting to set goals in the run, length and time.
By running outside you have endless possibilities, where you can select an infinite number of running routes.
To participate in races is fun, because you are in a group of positive, glad and happy people that love running and you get hooked just by seeing them so happy .
It is fun to keep track of how far you has run in miles or km and see the number rise and rise and rise:)
Running increases stamina, exercises the lungs and heart, strengthens bones and muscles and the circulation is triggered.
You are quick to achieve personal success and the success is measured and that is FUN!.
When you run, you will find that you are alive!
To stand in the middle of a endorphin cloud is one of the best feeling that you can find.
By running one can affect the weight and let it go downhill.
Running can be both individual and team sport.
Anyone can run regardless of age and you can have it as a family sport.

I want to say that I am not a fast runner. When I go in organized races I am among the last at the goal line, but you know what! It's just OK! People don’t mind were you are in the line and if you finish a race YOU ARE THE WINNER!. People also tend to compete with their personal time and when you do, you are all winners and I too:)
