Get your running shoes and head to the park! 

Some people love running. Getting up early before work or on the weekends, choosing a playlist, putting on their running outfit, and leaving the house when the sun hasn't come up yet… They certainly have discipline… 

If there's one thing I have never been good at is running. Seriously, if I try to run half a block, I end up breathless and cursing myself for trying to run in the first place. I belong in a Pilates class, not in a marathon. I already learned that, and that's why the idea of waking up early to go out running sounds crazy to me. There are people who actually do it and enjoy it! I swear that is beyond me to understand. 

Well, I'm exaggerating a little. I understand some of what makes the activity attractive. It must feel free, with the wind in your face and moving as fast as you can, leaving everything behind and feeling like all your troubles are far away from you… Yeah, that part sounds wonderful. But, as far as I'm told, you're supposed to pace yourself, not just start sprinting out of nowhere. That way, you get unnecessarily tired. 

So, runners out there, please let me know: what got you into running? Do you go out on rainy days too, or simply stay inside like everybody else? What do you do if you're in the middle of your run, away from your house, and a thunderstorm starts? Running is an activity that definitely raises a lot of questions, at least for me. 

What doesn't raise questions are memes! We all get those and laugh at them. And this time, we have memes that are perfect for people who love running… and for those who don't like it so much.
