I was curious as to how many of us here at the Lounge like to run, jog, or walk on a regular basis. I used to run, and I was fairly fast too, my average mile time was 6:43 for 5-6 miles. I took about a 3 year break, so I am a bit slower now, haha. :) I am trying to pick it back up again, and get back into weight lifting.
So, who runs, jogs, or walks? How far? How long?

I have a bit of a love hate relationship with running. On one I hand I love to do it on the other hand it is always difficult to leave the house. (especially because I leave in the center of my city). At the moment I run 3 times a week something like 3 to 4 km. I am happy about it because if I start to run longer, I ussually get a"shin splint", this inflamation of the membranes around the bone..which is really anoying and takes ages to get rid of.
I used to run everything up to half a marathon (1h 27 min). 5 km (under 18 min) and 10 km (38 min) were my favorite. I was never able to train hard for more than half a year because of this injury. Hopefully, since I now run for a year allready in a bit slower pace my injury will not bother me anymore.
