Poster: some random weirdo
Subject: RE: Is running selfish? Why do you run?
Body:

Is there some noble cause to run?
I think people run to enrich themselves and make some sort of personal achievement. Sometimes, you hear people say they 'run for thier teammates' or they 'run for god', but I think those are always secondary and I don't think anyone really starts running for those reasons. So the answer to your question depends on whether you classify personal enrichment as a 'noble cause'. I don't see why not. One thing I can say is that the people I have met through running seem to have a higher level of character than random people I've met elsewhere.

How often do you ask why you run?
Not much... although the answer has changed from 'running to stay healthy, slim, and fit' to 'running because I enjoy it (and to stay healty, slim, and fit).'
