You can eat a pint of ice cream afterwards and not gain weight.
Go running, you will feel better afterwards.
you can probably eat more than a pint! even better -- go buy new gear to run in -- that always gets me motivated
Why do I run? I have written over the years of the benefits I receive from running. Enumerated the physical and mental changes. Listed the emotional and spiritual gains. Charted the improvement that has taken place in my person and my life. What I have not emphasized is how transient these values and virtues are.
With just a little thought, however, it should be evident that physical laws parallel those of the mind and the spirit. We know that the effects of training are temporary. I cannot put fitness in the bank. If inactive, I will detrain in even less time than it took me to get in shape. And since my entire persona is influenced by my running program, I must be constantly in training. Otherwise the sedentary life will inexorably reduce my mental and emotional well-being.
So, I run each day to preserve the self I attained the day before. And coupled with this is the desire to secure the self yet to be. There can be no let up. If I do not run I will eventually lose all I have gained-and my future with it.
Maintenance was a favorite topic of Eric Hoffer. It made the difference, said the former longshoreman, between a country that was successful and one that failed. However magnificent the achievement, without constant care the result was decay.
I know the experience intimately. There is nothing more brief than a laurel. Victory is of the moment. It must be followed by another victory and then another. I have to run just to stay in place.
Excellence is not something attained and put in a trophy case. It is not sought after, achieved and, thereafter, a steady state. It is a momentary phenomenon, a rare conjunction of body, mind, and spirit at one's peak. Should I come to that peak I cannot stay there. I must start each day at the bottom and climb to the top. And then beyond that peak to another and yet another.
Through running I have learned what I can be and do. My body is now sensitive to the slightest change. It is particularly aware of any decline or decay. I can feel this lessening of the "me" that I have come to think of myself.
Running has made this new me. Taken the raw material and honed it and delivered it back ready to do the work of a human being. I run so I do not lose the me I was yesterday and the me I might become tomorrow.
-Dr. Sheehan
Running enhances neurogenesis, learning, and long-term potentiation in mice
"Running increases neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus, a brain structure that is important for memory function... Running improved water maze performance, increased bromodeoxyuridine-positive cell numbers, and selectively enhanced dentate gyrus LTP. Our results indicate that physical activity can regulate hippocampal neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity, and learning."

So if I take this study plus those memorable words from Dr Sheehan - If you don't go out and run you will get stupid!

So instead of dying at home in bed at 85, you can die in a nursing home at 95, bedridden and in a coma for your last three years, and all your money spent.
When they figure out how to add all these extra years to your 40s and 50s and 60s, these life-extension arguments will be a lot more convincing.
You're fat. If you go running, it will improve your figure. If you lose so weight by running, then increase the size of your boobs, I will get a raise and bang you. This should motivate you to run.
