other than the occasional 1 mile jog or thanksgiving 5k type thing, i have never been a runner. this year it just started happening for me, and now i run about once a week. strava has me at 115 miles on the year, including my first (and 2nd) 10k, and like 20+ runs of 3 miles or more. it's bananas and i still don't particularly enjoy it (compared to cycling), but it is nice to get in a quick workout needing nothing but headphones and a pair of shoes. also my dog loves running so she is a big motivation for me and goes with me every time. go cats
