Not sure how many people run on OS but I decided to make a thread and see the interest it sparks.

I guess we can talk about whatever, any races you have done, running shoes, or just running for fun.

For the past 6 months I have started to run for fun for exercise. Eventually I decided to run a half marathon with my cousins (Who have run the Chicago Marathon quite a few times) and I finished in 1:55:19 with a 8:48 pace.

I am not extremely fast as you can see by the time but I think I am hooked on running after the race last weekend. Right now I am looking for a way to get into the Chicago Marathon through a charity.

I'm going to start running again this week. Knoxville has a lot of great places to go for a run. There's a place right here near the station where I may go for a run after the game tonight.

I've fallen out of the habit running after I was doing it fairly routinely a few months ago. I'm going to be picking it up next week (hopefully). My plan is to run about a mile from home to Mark Light Stadium, do stadium steps there, and then run back every afternoon. In the Miami summer heat, it should be great conditioning.

As far as races, I've run a couple 5k's for fun... nothing to write home about. Best time was like 22 minutes, so not particularly fast.

Good deal, we have some interest! haha

I think apart from being in shape the best part of running for me is it being a huge stress reliever. Plus you can think about a lot of things when you are going for a long run haha.

What kind of shoes do you guys run with?

Husker_OS · 06-16-2010, 10:43 PM

I run with Saucony's. They're light and fit very well. Plus they're the most durable in my experience.

Cane_Mutiny · 06-16-2010, 10:45 PM

I've got a pair of Basics. They feel pretty good, I got 'em around a year ago. Or sometimes if I misplace those, I'll just run in my Wades

I have never even heard of those shoe companies, I have a 2 pairs of Asics shoes. I was actually having a terrible time with blisters on the bottom of my foot until I went to the doctor to get inserts in my shoes.

Cane_Mutiny · 06-16-2010, 11:07 PM

Haha, my mistake, I meant Asics... That little "a" symbol they put in front of the word "asics" always makes me want to call them "basics"... I guess you can tell I'm not a seasoned runner
