@harvest maybe you just need to read "born to run." i think that makes a runner out of everyone (though i've run since fourth grade and actually won some distance running record at my elementary school that lasted for a number of years. come to think of it, that was the same year i won the school spelling bee--gosh, i hope 89-90 wasn't my peak!)
just got in from running for the third day in a row! couple more and next thing you know, it's a habit. ran a litlte over 5 miles, which must be the first time i've run that far in probably a couple years. i'm usually more of a 5k guy--was, anyway--maybe i'm turning over a new leaf.
