Does anyone really LOVE running?

i mean does anyone love it so much that they say, wow i think i’ll run for another hour?? i mean i used to be a runner but the best it ever got for me was “well this isn’t killing me, i’ll think of my grocery list while i run, plan this or that” but i never LOVED it.

I loved running... could only run for about 30 mins and then i'd almost die but it was a happy i'm-gonna-die feeling. Had to stop because of my shin splints or whatever they're called. Sore shins.

@Red30 yeah they are shin splints - used to get them too but i ran through them my legs got stronger and i haven’t suffered with that for over a decade

Didn't realise you could run the problem out! :o

@Red30 well it worked for me - i went from the couch to a runner too fast and the splints really hurt - take smaller distances and work up - let them heal first and also get adequate rest.

@NiftyWhite I might give it a try. When i'm on a walk, i sometimes feeling like running suddenly! haha... also, i'm now getting adverts on shin pain on my browser.... ugh.
