I don't run and never have (I love my coastal walks) but my daughter who lives in France runs about four times a week with some friends. She says she does it because she likes to have her wine and some chocolate, and if she didn't, she would be like a little piggy. (She is VERY slim!). Both her and her husband have always been into exercise. I just wouldn't have the motivation I'm afraid. My daughter has suffered with back problems since the birth of her daughter 13 years ago, and she finds that exercise really does help.

Or are you now focusing on "Energetic Walking?" <br />Either way - I think being active, whether walking or running, is good for our mental health as well as physical.<br /><br />My daughter swims and is quite good, so I (currently) have no worries of being beat in the running department - but the time will come I'm sure.<br /><br />I'm glad you encourage your daughter's running by being proud of her - we all need to know our parents have pride in us and what we do.<br /><br />I would really enjoy reading what you wrote about your daughter - let me know when you post it!<br /><br />And...high fives to your brother, Gary, for continuing to run!<br /><br />Cheers, JennyPearson Reporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422640826640133140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9889100.post-55153570646603765432011-04-22T21:26:17.448-07:002011-04-22T21:26:17.448-07:00I use to run quite a bit several years ago (well, ...I use to run quite a bit several years ago (well, it was more like "Energetic Walking", but you get the idea). I really liked it and even entered a couple of 5K races. My daughter got into it and I remember the day when she beat me. Even though I felt a little deflated (and grateful that I knew the number to 911), I was proud of her. In fact, I wrote a story about it, "The Daughter Also Rises." I may post it.<br />My brother (Gary in my stories) still runs at 47.

Growing old...sucks.<br /><br />DEZMOND<br />You’re too funny - sometimes I feel robotic when I run. No brain though to go with the flailing arms! <br />I enjoy laziness - hence my need to run.<br /><br />Ruth<br />I’m cool with non-runners - it’s not for everyone that’s for sure. <br />I never thought it would be my passion - but one day about four years ago I started and I couldn’t stop. My body loves running.<br /><br />Barb<br />I’m always asked about my knees and back but so far so good. I don’t know what it’s like to have back problems. <br />My spine is a bit of an anomaly in that it is very straight and my massage therapist (I go for regular maintenance) commented on it - said it was why I never had or will have problems with it. (I thank the gods all the time for it)<br /><br />Semi True<br />You rock! I think each one of us should be the decider of our own reality. <br />I run, therefore I am a runner. Just like I write, therefore I am a writer.<br />I’m not waiting around for someone to stamp me with an ‘official seal of approval’ based on their criterion - none of us should - but many do!<br /><br />Laura<br />Walkers are good - I’m a walker too. Sometimes I strap on the walking runners (yes, I do have different shoes for these to things) and walk and walk and walk - I really enjoy walking too.<br /><br />I live five miles from my office and I can be found walking to work on Summer days. I look forward to the quality mental time it affords me! I like escaping the traffic too!<br />So...lace up those shoes and go out and enjoy your neighbourhood!<br /><br /><br />To all of you - no matter how you get around - stop every now and then and enjoy your surroundings.<br /><br />Cheers, JennyPearson Reporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422640826640133140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9889100.post-68480128159401833622011-04-22T16:58:20.441-07:002011-04-22T16:58:20.441-07:00Good for you!

I do like to walk though.
