I used to run. Thinking I should work my way back to it. It always made me feel better. That runner’s high.

A ride or a run sounds great right about now.

I’m well past the age of running. But I have always found it extremely healthy and refreshing to go for long walks in the country—or even in parts of the city that are beautiful.

I walk my dogs every day, and we all get a lot out of it.

So, if you can’t run, try walking, and enjoying the beauty of the trees, pastures, brooks, ferns, and what not. For me, it’s the beauty of God’s creation.

I’ve experienced that, both walking and cycling. My knee won’t let me run very much these days.

Never got the “runners high”....pilates for 1 hour in studio, however, may come close

Sorry, running does not clear my mind, it fogs it.

And if your bum knee(s) preclude running, try rowing.

A few beers does more to clear my mind than running.

I had a boss who go running whenever a big problem confronted him.

Then, he would do nothing.

Great problem-solving system.

I always feel better after I run. It’s not because the running makes me feel good—quite the opposite. It’s because I experience a great sense of relief—I survived another 20-30 minutes of misery, and I won’t have to do it again for a couple of days.

I was never a runner but at age 46 I started bicycle riding and with in a few months was doing 300 to 500 miles a week and doing USCF racing including becoming state champ in my age class.

I was going through a difficult time then with my business and a divorce. The riding allowmed me to clear my mind from my problems. Usually I noticed that after a few miles of a ride I would get a runners high and feel euphoric and aches and pains would go away.

I played volleyball...worked like a charm.

At work...I'd go for a walk and count to ten over and over.

Nothing like saying a rosary. The repetition clears the head and helps the heart.

This is what I do and have done since I was a kid.

Have you ever had the “runner’s high.” My goodness that is unbelievable.

CURIOUS...
How many of you joggers have “runner’s face”?

Giving new meaning to the term “jog your memory.”

In olden days the mind was clearer with a good smoke.
