Any BOTL Runners?

Chemnitz

Just wondering if any of you BOTLs are runners.

I'm pretty casual but love it. Average 4 miles several times a week. The current Texas heat makes it a bit more of a challenge at the moment. Looking forward to the Fall.

I run Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Generally 2 miles each time. On the Bowflex treadmil while watching the morning news. Keeps the old ticker healthy and an old habit from my Army days.

smoke em if you got em

I've run a few 8k's and 10k's..but nothing recently. I was telling myself the other day I need to start running on a regular basis..thanks for starting this thread mate!

I ran for a bit. No more than 3 mi/5 k. Thinking of getting back into it after finishing up Ruthless. I do walk quite a bit, though, taking the baby around. Probably average 2 miles a day.

I run from clowns, thats about it.

I was thinking about starting to jog, we have a 1/4 mile driveway to our mailbox.

DUring the good weather, I run (well, I'd say more of a well paced jog, actually) 4 days a week, around 5-6 miles each time. A bluetooth headphone connected to an iPod playing audiobooks or music is the only way I can make it bearable. That any my usual route is around a lake abutting a local women's college, which also makes it quite bearable.

I run on occasion, but really need to get back into it on a regular basis. Last summer I was running every morning before work. But then I got lazy. My sister runs marathons and someday I would like to run at least a half marathon. But I am a long way from that right now.

I don't run regularly but I do run different races on occasion: 5k, Tough Mudder, Warrior Dash, half marathon. I keep telling myself I'm going to start running more and train for these events but that doesn't end up happening.

First Warrior

Not a runner but I'm a gym rat. Been working out two days a week in the summer and three days a week in the winter. Free weights and resistance machines, about 45 minutes. Then 1 1/2 mile fast walk. Been doing this for the past 10 years. I'll be 68 soon. Use it or lose it.

Thanks for all the awesome responses!

I just want to encourage those of you who said you're thinking of running more often. One of the things I love about running is that even after a hiatus from running it only takes one run and I am a runner again! So get out there guys, just do one run and you will be started!

Had an fantastic run again this morning. I have to get out early to beat the heat. Walt - I also like to run every other day - normally Monday, Wednesday and Friday. That also helps me remember to run, "It's Friday - time to run!"
