Does anyone else think running may have f*** up their life?

Life f***s up running.

find some balance in your life. i certainly like a piece of chocolate cake, but not the whole f***ing cake at one sitting.

Running

Been running all my life, not quite the way you Guys have but from a very hard and difficult past, motivated yes incredibly so, they say when you come from a poor background it motivates you, motivate it did, right to the top and straight back on the ground.

We all have our ambitions, and that nobody can take away, whether its right or wrong we do them, and sadly lots of people do suffer, I got to the stage where I thought I was crazy, people say achieve so we try, it goes good and thats great, but if we are just that extra mile off we are arseholes, in my life I have been the runner that nearly reaches the final hurdle but the falls over, it was there but I just did not quite make it, sometimes people moved the post, others it was my fault.

Swim, Run, Football, Business we are all at it, we have a goal and we try, it costs, if we win its great if we do not well then its shit. But if we did not try we would never know.

As far as I can see you have not f***ed your life up you tried, I have tried and got there, and then I fell back a lesson, perhaps, perhaps not one that I wanted to learn and one that I have not yet got over, but get over it I must

Look I do not know you, but I hope you can put your past career behind you, I am having to, but its tough, somehow we need to forward, dwelling in the past is no good, believe me I know it

Hoping this made some sort of sense, no I do not think running f***ed your life up

Kindest Regards

OK, everyone knows Im one of the baddest mother f***ers ever to walk the face of the earth. That goes without saying and if you didnt know that then kill yourself.

Now, to the point. I am such a beast at everything I do I cant relate to someone that is pathetic. But let me tell you this. When I see someone and i want to kick their head clean off, what do you think i do? I kick their head clean off damn it. I dont give a shit who they are or what they are(sometimes fat bitches get disgusting looking and need a good asskicking).

So I guess what im trying to say is this. You will never be as good as me. Once again that goes without saying. But that doesnt mean that you shouldnt try to kick people down that are in your way.

By the way, the results are in and you have herpes.

Priorities are a state of mind. Do what makes you happy. If you are feeling like you f***ed up........Well.......You probably f***ed up!!........ Only you can answer that question honestly.

Otherwise.....your just asking a question that's gonna give you a bunch of answers; which converts to more mixed opinions..........and, dude.............this is just gonna make you question your historical choices more........

So stop reading our opinions and do what makes you happy.......

.....Fuck it!! If you love running.......keep running.....but try to die smiling.........maybe some people confuse addicton with passion.........Since when was love considered a bad addiction...... if you love the sport.....keep doing it.......keep running and listen to yourself

Running is putting one leg in front of the other.Life is putting one person in front of the other.You can only f*** that up by putting the same person out in front.

Running did f*** up my life. It's Saturday night and I'm posting on letsrun.com. Enough said.

Yep I can relate to all of that.

If I could go back to 2022 post-pandemic I would have quit running and marathon training and just gone travelling for a year. My life is boring and pointless.

Running. Not even once!

I wonder how you are doing now at 50 years old.

Now the guy is 54. I hope he has a good story to tell.

Maybe he's the old guy that got beat by the Kenyan woman at the Turkey Trot and then banged his fist on the table at the awards dinner?

I'm your age and don't have a wife, a job or any friends, but it was that way before I took up running.

I count three ways running could ruin a marriage:

> Expenses of travel while racing 1/2 Marathons, Marathons and ultras.

> Only working part-time or not working at all due to running

> Missing out on important family activities due to running.

I'll add a fourth that I observed from a guy in our club - missed wife's 40th birthday for a 5K three hours away AND opted to "miss" an anniversary celebration because he had an important long effort the next day.

He lost a house, his prized Audi, and a lot of cash for a couple of age-group medals.

I hate to sound like the corny one but I can honestly say it saved my life.

i don’t think i ever did anything right. Jobs, relationships, nothing.

I succeeded in my life only because my passion for running caused me to stand out. Any moment of stress in my life, going out for a run relieved that stress…

that’s about it. 47 years over 100,000 miles

My fourth would have been disdain some women have for 2.1 pounds per inch or less build some runners have. There are women who prefer chubby men.
