    Question National Running Day

    Since today is National Running Day, I'm interested in learning if any other techs are runners... I know I am! If you are a runner, how much and how often do you run?

    I'm a runner too. Some 20 km in a week (2x10km). Did half a marathon twice. You can empty your mind when running.

    That's funny Zackuth!

    Eric, it sounds like we run about the same distance. I started running this past October and really got after it in January. I ran my first 10k last month and I'm now training for my first Half-Marathon (in December) and my first Full-Marathon (in March '12).

    I thought most techs like me have bad knees. I tell people I can't run, so I will have to stand and fight.

    Run? Haven't done anything that silly since I got my licence at 17, and that was a looong time ago.
    At least 50% of IT is a solution looking for a problem.

    Just kind of getting into it for about a year maybe 5 to 10mi a week. I was doing great in the winter. Now that summer is here, down south. It's almost too hot.. Well I'm not out of shape by any means. It's just good exercise. Just use good technique and wear good shoes. Though it seems some prefer to not wear any. :P
