My reason this morning is because I drank a twelve pack last night ... Time to run off the effects and get ready to face the day!

For many it's to get a PR or college money .. To make the trials.
Is it depression. Anger. Angst. That drives you?
Or a feeling of completeness?
I do it for my reasons but it was fury/anger/angst that got me back into it and drives me still.
Just curious what drives the runner who logs 70+ miles a week at 25+
It's fun, your life is incomplete without any form of sport in it.
Like the first response in this thread I think because I can, and now after many decades at it I know it's not going to last forever. Approaching 60 and my days could be numbered. That at least covers much why I "train" close to my age in miles per week and continue to race.
The reasons I run have already been answered too. I like the movement and mental break from sitting on my butt, and I like to feel tired from workouts. It also helps with outlook on life, and the thought of being a blobbish out shape troll here makes me sick, so I keep at out of spite of the blobbish trolls here. That component is out of hate.
I have to admit, after not running for 2 years, my life is more complete than when I was running. No more worrying about nonsense.

And yet you still post on a running thread on a running board..!
I run because:
1) it's fun
2) to PR
3) to stay in shape and be healthy
For me it was a survival tactic. I came from a chaotic household. Once I discovered it as an outlet for pent up anger and a means to free myself from the constant war zone my life started taking shape.
In the current day I enjoy running as a way to think things through. Sometmes life throws you some curve balls but nothing an everyday run or two cant make better.
No one has said it yet, but I run to get rid of my http://www.jewish-languages.org/jewish-english-lexicon/words/534 schpilkes - I can't sit still and am always fidgeting if I haven't run. It calms me down.
I run because I am a heterosexual. There is a scientific correlation between heterosexuality and running. If one runs they are heterosexual, if they don't they aren't.
Pure HATE... nothing more nothing less.
I do run on pure hate ... Well not hate but I run better when there is a negative force driving me..
My coach. He drives the bus.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
