Gina, I wear socks in my vibrams. When I ran in mine, I had to make sure to run on grass rather than pavement or my shins hated me.

People run because they can generally drop weight this way. I do it because I like it and right now am forced to.
I was an idiot last week and registered for a full marathon in September. Guess I'll be running a bit more than usual. |

My little sister runs marathons (42.195 kilometres or 26 miles and 385 yards for you silly Americans). Basicly if your not naturally skinny, with good knees, dont bother trying to run.
And running shoes. You need to spend top dollar on running shoes, and you NEED proper insoles. See a specialty runners shop, and they will fit you properly if you really want to run. Different kinds of feet require different kinds of shoes. And again, if you dont have good knees, dont bother.

Pffffft. Had an untrained guy on a radio show run a marathon and completed it.

I run. I'm actually starting training for a Marathon in September.
I run because I enjoy it. the days I run... I feel better, the days I don't.... I don't. I like the challenge of it. thinking "I did 10 last time... I think I can do 13" and pushing myself. it's taught me a lot about my body. I don't get the runner's high all the time... but I feel almost zen a peace deep down when I'm running... even in the struggle to keep going... emotionally... I feel a peace. |
