I love running. I pretty much can't see myself ever quitting. I started about 3 years ago just going 3 times a week. The after I graduated college I started going 5 days a week cause I wasn't walking around campus as much and I wanted to stay in shape. Added some long runs on the weekend after a while and the rest is history. I'm running my first marathon Thanksgiving day. I do feel depressed now and then and I'm sure that it would be 100x worse if I didn't run. The thing I like about running is that pretty much everyone can do it. Just get some shoes and run.
I also like the comraderie that runners share. It's kinda hard to explain to non-runners (at least the ones I've talked to about it). They just don't understand the love for such a "monotonous activity".
