Running is a simple way to get exercise. Some people run long distances to train for a marathon. Others like jogging just to stay in shape. But any amount of running exercises all of your muscles and often puts you in a relaxed state of mind. Running can be dangerous too, however. Some people prefer sports like swimming that are less likely to cause injury.

Yeah definitely, I love running, jogging and walking. That’s all I always do to stay in shape. I want to try other kinds of exercise though. But I don’t really need to work hard anyway. I am already thin and I want to gain weight.

running is so easy… it’s just need personal determination and, as Jason says, a pair of shoes (or not)... I am used to running very often… like 5 days a week. It is sometimes hard to find time for that but anyway i love it and…if God alows me i will never stop running.

I like when running is like this…


’...whatever you do


with your running,


you only cheat yourself


by pushing, pressing, competing.


There are no standards


and no possible victories except


the joy you are living


while dancing your run.’

I don`t like jogging either like Ella. But I like walking in the park or forest. Walking just all my own and breathing clean ear is the best thing to live heathy. You can stay more stress-free.
