I think running is great! You get outdoors (in all weathers). You can do it with the minimum of fuss - you only really need a decent pair of trainers to get started. You can do it when you can fit it in. No need to adhere to a gym timetable. No expenses gym fees. No having to share the showers with anyone else.

Runners are a fairly friendly bunch. Most other runners will give you a nod and even a "Morning".

Happy running!

Ditto. Running is absolutely fantastic. I go out for a run and feel great. I'm looking great because of all the excercise. Early days, if I ever felt stressed, I'd go out for a run and straighten out my head

I just ran the London Marathon, best time ever

Agree running is brilliant - combine with music and smile as you pound the streets. In the beginning I often had tears rolling down my face but now i hold my head up and smile. I also have the most fantastic garden - keeps me busy, out in the fresh air and what a sense of achievement when I look out at it. You just have to do what works for you. I still have a way to go but its not bad all the time now.

mmmm...must admit i have been considering it.
have been holed up in a pub since the split and its taking its toll !!!!
I will buy some very short shorts tomorrow !

I used to go to the gym and do yoga but found running was much better in dealing with my depression.

Yuk! Ex and his girlfriend run together. Doing marathons in exact same time!

HOW cheesy...

I used to run, but found of late it gives me too much thinking time and the tears come until I can't physically run any longer...

However that said I have now located my iPod and will try again to build up my running routine once the children have returned to school by blasting music into my negative thoughts...

I simply can't wait, I SO miss the good endorphines...

I'd never SO much as look at another gym or monthly membership fees as long as I live...

Its free, after the initial purchase of trainers and a track suit or shorts...

Plus the sence of freedom you get is awsome
