Reasons to Keep Running

It's surprising why we keep at this sport which brings us pain. Pain to the knees, the butt and black toes are what we runners see as something common - a rite of passage.

But fret not! Here's a light hearted look at why we should continue to do what we've come to love (in the context of PM runners and visitors to this website)!

- escaping from bears and cobras
- escaping from roaming perverts
- outrunning tidal waves
- understanding the psyche of stray dogs and outrunning them
- collecting medals and certificates
- develop agility to dodge mad drivers
- develop an acute night vision from running in the dark
- losing weight
- farting
- shaving legs and other hairy parts
- running in the rain- meeting chicks
- meeting people from all over the world
- improved stamina for sax play
- improved stamina for sex play
- improved stamina for badminton
- getting married and calling your wedding a half marathon
- having the opportunity to organize a run for just about any occassion
- buying new shoes and gears
- drinking isotonics without fear of diabetes
- chatting like silly on this website
- getting featured in newspapers and websites
- travelling to far off places
- climbing mountains
- improving skills with the camera
- improving writing skills from all the reports
- calling each other names
- opportunity to match make like-minded people


If the above don't get you out there running, I don't know what will!
