I agree. I've been a regular runner for a few years now and its a great way to relax, let off some steam, and get into great shape. Also depending on where you live there's usually a tight-nit community of runners so you can make some great friends.

I've recently moved from running only to running and lifting weights at the local gym — the gym is even a short run from home.

It's been a great way to meet new people too.

Running is rubbish, slow and boring, and you never get anywhere exciting. Try cycling, you can actually go places, have a great time, and see a lot of the world around you.

Running if for people to cheap to buy a bike:)

I have two bikes. But I still prefer running everyday, keeping cycling more of a holiday activity.

I agree, although the way you make your argument makes you sound like a fanboi.

The advantage of cycling is that you get tired/bored when you are 30 miles away from your house. When I run, I get bored after a block, and can just walk home :)

"I believe that Running is rubbish, slow and boring, and you never get anywhere exciting". FTFY.

Have you ever run in a natural park or a mountain?
