        I’ll never understand why anyone enjoys running. I absolutely hate it and feel terrible after running. I ran every day for 22 years (former military) and hated every single day.

        I prefer rowing, that is actually fun.

          I personally love running because it’s a time where I can just let my mind wander, reflect, or just have it go blank.

          Plus it also helps when your half marathon path ended at the brewery where you have a tab.

            There are other physical activities that people enjoy that do the same exact thing. Another person mentioned rowing, but riding a bicycle is also similar. The point is, not everyone likes running, even if they do like letting their mind wander.

              Okay…and no where did I advocate that running is the only thing anyone can do.

              Dude asked for an opinion of why a person would love running and so I gave one. No need to get all defensive, take it down a notch there.

                Well, fair enough. But the other person did not ask for an opinion, quite the opposite even. They said they will never understand it. So at least to me it felt a bit like you were trying to convince the other person that running is better.

            I’m sorry, the last two comments were immature and not representative of who I am. Don’t know what came over me, but it’s not the way to behave or act online or in person.

            You don’t have to accept this apology but know I strive to be better than what this comment chain shows.

            Again sorry.

              What the hell, a person reflecting their actions (somewhat) immediately without someone prompting them to do so. Good on you, dude.

      This screams I’m a complete moron that can’t understand or have a intellectual discussion over a topic so I’ll just do a dumbass ad hominem attack.
