To the so called "Real Runner"....
I laugh at how you are bashing people and asking us why we run. Obviously you have no respect for the sport or the people in it. Not everybody runs for the same reasons. I mean yea, if I wanted to be hardcore and serious I would be, but it doesn't fit my personality.
I came to college to have years to look back on and say I had a good time running and hanging out and making friends. So yea will I knock back a few beers with my friends, most likely. Will I knock out few cases in a week?..eh....probably....some nights when I know its time to get focused will I?...Yes, cuz I know there is a time and place and its my responsibility as a member on my team.
All in all, running is a hobby to me and I enjoy doing it and being part of a team, while also having fun...Cheers
